National Shame

A kind of en-masse guilt trip spread by newspapers and other media. Has its roots in archaic beliefs/notions of deference and paternalism that go a long way to fortifying nationalist sentiments and spreading xenaphobia. You only feel national shame if you swallow that sort of bullshit.
