In Japan, they have a term Mura Hachibu that apparently signifies when someone is ostracized and shunned from society for doing something really bad and abhorrent. I have never lived in Japan so I only know about it and have heard about it, don’t really know how it works. But in the USA it kind of seems like you can do all sorts of horrible, bad things, and there’s no real societal consequence for it… If you need any evidence of this, just look at Matt Gaetz. People literally hate this guy, in Congress and outside of it. Some people call him a child predator don’t know if it’s actually true or not and honestly don’t care to discuss it here but You would think that people that do terrible, horrible things would get put on a list and that list would be passed around society So people can be actively aware that they should avoid them, and restrict them from participating in society due to their terrible actions…
So why isn’t this ever done in the USA? Has this ever been considered, or is this like not a good thing to do?
That concept doesnt exist so that the affluent and powerful can leverage their positions to get whatever they want whenever they want. If they had to worry about taboos, or being ostracized, they couldn’t get everything they wanted. So we’ve been conditioned a shameless society.
America’s position on this is those pictures of Henry VIII that show him as a strapping virile man, at a time when he had a leg wound that smelled rotten and would never heal, and was so obese he needed the throne extended. Thats our outlook on shame. Theres nothing to shame here, we are the bestest best and always will be. Problems? What societal problems? My chef just informed me the food is ready I must go.
