Kafkatrapping, by esr
- The aim of the kafkatrap is to produce a kind of free-floating guilt in the subject, a conviction of sinfulness that can be manipulated by the operator to make the subject say and do things that are convenient to the operator’s personal, political, or religious goals. Ideally, the subject will then [internalize] these demands, and then become complicit in the kafkatrapping of others.

Social
- Cathy O’Neil, in her “The Shame Machine”, argues for replacing Cancel Culture with a shame-based inveigling of others into being propagandized with little to no resistance. A specific example is her consciously devised social shaming (what appears to be “a mild dose” at the surface however exploits the powerful social emotions) of the COVID-19-vaccine-hesitant into going against their original wish.
