"[A]ll the blaming and shaming on social media and elsewhere is less about persuasion than about the emotional needs of those doing the blaming and shaming."

"It makes them feel better about themselves, and in today’s society, feeling better about oneself is the greatest of achievements. It’s helpful if the feeling suffices to legitimate the right of laptop-class 'meritocrats' to bully the oiks on things like masks and lockdowns — when their actual performance casts serious doubts on their merits. It’s also easy for politicians to capitalize on. They thrive on division, and on passions that distract people from what they’re actually doing. But if you’re making the country worse to feel good about yourself, maybe you’re not such a good person after all. And if you’re falling for politicians’ tricks, maybe you’re not as smart as you think."

Writes Glenn Reynolds in "Mask bullies don’t want to persuade you — but to humiliate and rule you" (NY Post). 

I should note that Glenn begins his column by quoting me quoting 2 anti-mask memes. Here's my post from a few days ago: "What do my Facebook friends think they are doing expressing this kind of hostility?" 

Glenn also says: "[T]his sort of thing isn’t aimed at convincing those who disagree, but rather at garnering high-fives from people who agree...." Some may say that to use the word "garnering" is to call out to me.

Speaking of words, do people know the word "oik"? I had to look it up. The OED calls it "colloquial (originally School slang)." It means "An uncouth, loutish, uneducated, or obnoxious person; a yob (esp. with connotations of lower-class origin)." The OED quotes, among other things,  M. Marples, "Public School Slang" (1940): "Oik, hoik: very widely used and of some age; at Cheltenham (1897) it meant simply a working man, but at Christ's Hospital (1885) it implied someone who spoke Cockney, and at Bootham (1925) someone who spoke with a Yorkshire accent."
