Conservative Guilt

Conservative guilt is the action of pretending to be poor to appeal to the humble narrative, or ethos.

Fred: "Elon claims he lives in a box and below the poverty level despite immense wealth. As does Mr Beast, Jack Dorsey, Donald Trump and Mark Zuckerberg once upon a time."

Joan: "Sounds like more conservative guilt, Fred"

Shame or Guilt

I don't feel either.

Hym "I'm not guilty of anything that affects anybody yet. So no shame or guilt. What I feel is a constant pressure in my skull and I don't have an internet version of myself that I'm discordant with. You, on the other hand, are lying publicly and then crying about it on streams. I'm not going to learn anything either way, just so you know. Whether you do or you don't. But IF I GUT SOME KID IN FRONT OF IT'S PARENTS.... YOU... ARE going to learn something. It's better for everyone if you just let me stop working. I'm not ever going to let it go. The threat will never stop. And your kids will pay the price for WHAT you are doing to me. What are you doing to me? Think of a word to describe it. YOU should be more concerned with the guilt and shame YOU are going to have to live with when ignoring me doesn't work. I don't ever stop. I don't ever put the phone down and let it go. When I put the phone down I pick the knife up. You are taking all the wrong lessons from this and you're doing it deliberately."

Data Guilt

When you believe that the data your have in your computer system is more messed up than the data in everyone else system.

I've got Data Guilt. I'm embarrassed every time I run a report. I'm afraid to ask my team to clean up our Salesforce - our data is so much worse than the customer service system's data.
