Are you saying that the only route to changing minds in some domains is to shame or otherwise stigmatize? I wouldn't disagree. It's just that when I survey my social media, I see a huge overreliance. I think shame has a very powerful social effect. But we're used to experiencing its effects in the real world, from real person to person interactions, and think that doing something similar online will translate.
