While I agree with  you, I think the shaming and bullying has emerged from the sense helplessness people feel in being able to change laws or receive justice.  These days the common belief (and possible reality) is that the rich dictate the laws and we&#x27;re powerless to affect change.  By publicly shaming, raising awareness&#x2F;rage, and generating a large undercurrent of dissent, people have found they can affect change.
