Glad to see more discussion of social phenomenon like shame storms. But would caution those who say they are irrational mindless chaos. I think that's a misunderstanding of them and the structural shifts that cause them to emerge--and makes easy to dismiss instead of unpack

Agreed. There is a structure to networks; shame storms catalyze pathways for future storms to travel, but those pathways are built out of people who aren’t accidentally engaging in antisocial behavior. There are sometimes overt division of labor!

I think that framing probably underestimates how much of the phenomenon is existing members of classes with no small amount of cultural capital participating in something which, to be maximally blunt, is their job.
