NRA designed, lobbied and promoted the current interpretation of the right to bear arms. The design has a fundamental flaw that results in multiple criminal deaths of innocent people. NRA is responsible for the flaw and, consequently, for the deaths.

This morning, after Covfefe spewed out another piece of his usual bs, even more people realized that shaming doesn't work when you deal with shameless people.

Here's a good econtalk podcast on the so-called twitter culture - Internet Shaming and Online Mobs.

I wonder whether Twitter design inherently promotes shameless people or, in general, people willing to ignore social norms.

upd. there's a difference between Bannon and Covfefe with regard to social norms. I feel like the term "transactional" has something to do with it.
