A form of guilt-tripping using history. This method is usually used by people who admire the "good ol' past".
Dad: "Romulus Augustulus was a Roman emperor when he was 12. You are the same age as him but you do nothing but play Xbox all day."
Son: "Alexander the Great was 32 years old when he died and he conquered so many lands. You are older than him yet you do nothing but waste your money on some trash."
This is an example of historical guilt-tripping.

What you give James Cameron when you bump into him and demand your $10 back for that shitty film and want to give it to the Haitian Earthquake relief fund.
Hey James Cameron, you a little short on cash after 12 years? Get over here so I can give you an Avatar Haiti guilt trip!

A tray displaying raw vegetables, found at a party. Its presence induces guilt in those who do not eat at least one of each type of its contents.
I ate as much highly-caloric food as I wanted at the party, but only after eating at least one of each raw vegetable from the guilt-trip-tray.

News stories that get more and more desperate until people submit into doing anything the media/government/healthcare industry/scientists want them to do.
Last week's grief/tragedy/sympathy guilt trip was a recycled story from the Trump era about a young guy that still thought the coronavirus was a hoax until he ended up in ICU. When that didn't increase vaccination rates, the grief/tragedy/sympathy industry got more desperate and had a guy talking emotionally about how you can save his one year old in Arkansas even if you live halfway across the country by getting in line for a vaccine. Just do what these people say and everyone will be okay, just meet their demands is what the grief/tragedy/sympathy industry is trying to prime people's subconcious with.

When one tries to make you feel bad for something when it is either out of you're control or in hindsight

The tray at a party which contains raw vegetables, such as broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, tomatoes, snow peas, squash, and zucchini; it goads one to eat healthy, low calorie, bad-tasting foods whilst juxtaposed against unhealthy, fattening, good-tasting foods, and causes guilt trips in most who choose its alternatives.
I eat one thing each from the guilt-trip-tray at parties, before I eat the good stuff; that justifies unlimited calories afterward.

The heaping of loads of guilt on an individual (often a child) from another individual (often a mother) from the Delehanty clan
