@alexschmidt This is a very Catholic way of looking at things, so it is something I pondered for 14 years of education, and through much of it, I saw shame used as a tool of manipulation by those in power, and I saw it drive more people away than it improved. — PolitiTweet.org

@alexschmidt I definitely believe people who are lucky in this or any other way have an obligation to improve the world as best they can; and of course we should all feel discomfort with injustice; but it should be a feeling distinct from shame, which is also, I think, counterproductive — PolitiTweet.org

@GustavoArellano @coastallyfleek My original claim was, "We do not have an obligation to feel shame for wrongs perpetrated before our births." My example is not bizarre if we're adjudicating that proposition. — PolitiTweet.org
