From Versailles to Brexit: How Shame Fuels Division (2.3)
📌 Why Shame is a Powerful Tool of Control
Shame is one of the most deeply ingrained emotions, shaping our identities and behaviour by triggering feelings of unworthiness and inadequacy. Throughout history and today, institutions, cultures, and systems have weaponised shame to suppress individuality, enforce conformity, and manipulate decisions. Whether through societal norms, media, or cultural expectations, shame has been used to control and divide. By recognising how this tool works, we can dismantle its hold on us, reclaim our self-worth, and build resilience against manipulation. This awareness empowers us to pursue growth on our own terms-free from judgement and fear.
