Outside of childhood cultural conditioning, norm enforcement is a delusion.
Hym "Norm enforcement is largely performative. You, on some level, have to admit that norm enforcement ISN'T ACTUALLY FOR THE PERSON BEING SHAMED. You don't care whether or not they change or 'improve,' You want the people who SEE THE ACT OF SHAMING to think twice about mirroring or imitating or repeating the behavior being shamed. That's who it's for. It's for the viewer and not the person being shamed.

And, again, it stems (I think) from this type of intellectual elitism where individuals are expected to cede their capacity for thought to... Not even intellectuals. Just random fucking YouTuber's REGARDLESS of their capacity for thought. It's like 'You don't have life X, therefore, the content or function of your mind is somehow de-legitimized regardless of HOW PERSON WITH LIFE X AQUIRED LIFE X (For example, entertaining children by being a loud obnoxious retard while playing video games). It's not different than that scene (And I'm repeating myself) from Bob's Burgers where Louise is heckling those baseball players. She attempts (and fails) to distract the batters (repeated) and the one time one of the batters fails; she takes full credit for his failure shouting 'See!? I did that! That was me!' That's all you're doing when you enforce norms. You're making YOURSELF FEEL BETTER about the existence of people who violate the norms of your adopted propositional ethic. It's superstition. It's not different than throwing salt over your shoulder when you spill the pepper. You're making an example of someone to intimidate the bystanders. And by 'Norm enforcement' I mean 'Social norm enforcement' and NOT 'Do what the Quran says or we're going to throw you off a building' MANUAL NORM ENFORCEMENT."

Red Deer has…some sketchy drugged out shithole as its version of a “mountain town” that is bound to disappoint the unfortunate tourist who is at risk of being stuck in the town from either getting carjacked or being unable to afford the gas prices. Commonly referred to as “ghetto Banff”.
