@GustavoArellano Shame can be useful, but only in the context of something the person feeling it had some ability to control. Shame for something one had zero control over doesn't make sense. — PolitiTweet.org

Such shame makes no more sense than the irrational pride that some on the white supremacist right feel for, e.g., ancient philosophers whose phenotype was similar to theirs, as if the wisdom of Aristotle changes their idiocy or arrogates to their credit. — PolitiTweet.org

You can feel admiration for those things, or pride for living up to their ideals, if you do. But feeling *pride*, that is, *a feeling of deep pleasure or satisfaction derived from one's own achievements* for deeds done decades+ ago is irrational. — PolitiTweet.org

@conor64 Are we not allowed to feel pride for things that happened before our birth then? Declaration of Independence? D Day?
