guilt-control

When someone, or some party, attempts to use the concept of guilt (not necessarily actual guilt) in order to manipulate a person or people, into doing something that would be against their best interest. It's a tactic of manipulation that does not require actual guilt, just the presumption of guilt. Usage of the term asserts against the rhetorical trap of implied guilt, by summarily denying the implied guilt and exposing the guilt as an intended form of control.

party a: 10 years ago you got into that accident, and I know you say it wasn't your fault, but it's probably in our best interest if we never let you drive again.
party b: Your attempts at guilt-control are obvious, so please stop.

white guilt

white guilt
I think there's a little bit of white guilt involved in anything we do even as the audience watching like why am I enjoying watching suffering, backstabbing, lying & strategy so much?

How do they not feel a little bit of white guilt?

Hoagie Guilt

The feeling of emotional discomfort one gets when trying to leave the Hoagie Folk.

I’m getting massive Hoagie Guilt from my boss. All I want to do is quit because he keeps drawing me deeper into his illegal Hoagie Empire cluttered with Hoagie Folk.

Tweet guilt

The feeling one has before or after tweeting about something self absorbed and good for nothing more than gleaning attention. This feeling is usually exaggerated after a twitter user has read the june issue of wired that describes people that practice such 'twittering' as tools.

I'm laying off twitter until I can focus on tweeting for the good of humanity, instead of myself. I'm so full of Tweet guilt now.
