The discussions highlight a broad interest in the mechanisms and effects of ostracism, illustrated by examples like the ancient Greek practice, references to social exclusion in modern online environments, and personal stories about social rejection. The tone varies from analytical to emotional, with some posts advocating for the return of Greek-style ostracism as a form of societal control, and others criticizing its potential harms, which collectively indicate high curiosity and active engagement but moderate influence on societal perceptions.
AgreementNeither agree nor disagree
Discussions vary widely, with some posts supporting the idea of ostracism as a social tool, while others express disagreement or apathy towards it.
InterestHigh interest
Most posts show a high level of curiosity and fascination with the concept of ostracism, especially in historical and social contexts.
EngagementHigh engagement
Many posts reference specific historical practices, personal experiences, and societal phenomena, indicating deep thought and active participation.
ImpactModerate impact
While the topic sparks strong reactions and historical comparisons, many comments reflect a theoretical or rhetorical stance rather than concrete societal change, resulting in moderate impact.
Abstract in brief
Ostracism, or social exclusion, triggers automatic feelings of pain and distress, as it signals a threat to fundamental social needs like belonging, self-esteem, and trust.
Short-term ostracism causes feelings like sadness and anger, leading individuals to either engage in prosocial actions to restore social bonds or antisocial behaviors to regain control and recognition.
Long-term or chronic ostracism can deplete coping resources, often leading to negative outcomes such as depression and feelings of helplessness.]

Yes guys, it's legal to photo people in public from public property. However, it is uncouth and churlish and should rightfully result in social ostracism when you do this shit.
your average Democratic voter thinks ICE is a bunch of vile thugs who deserve ostracism and public trials but the higher you climb the ranks of the party the less agreement you find with that entry-level liberal/left commitment and by the time you get to DC it's gone entirely

The Karm Clan continued accepting assassination jobs even after the War ended. Their proudest asset was ensuring the total success of an assassination. That proved them reliable, but also led to ostracism from the world.
It took me years to see the Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer song & TV special as akin to my experience with elementary school bullying and ostracism…and to wonder if the other reindeer continued to love him after the sleigh-guiding or if things went back to “normal” in a day or two.
Both of you are (along with fascists) are delusional and should be thankful that the worst treatment liberal society gives you is ostracism and not the treatment dissidents get in your "Ideal" societies. https://t.co/6kMuCuJQjc
This is what "cancellation" is for. Ostracism isn't a thing because there are no more unexplored lands for the ostracized to go to.
Folks should just treat ICE employees like they don't exist. Let them rely on their own support networks instead of the civil society they attack and undermine.
Simply put, Generational Trauma, or rather how every deals with it.
Looking at the past of every single individual, the most common themes revolve around abusive parents, trust issues, fear of ostracism/being ostracized, fear of loss/losing everything, wealth/poverty, so on.

they're basically two teenagers, a trans girl and a bisexual boy, who are struggling to define themselves against their ostracism - they couldn't and so they refused to define their relationship by any of the means that society presented to them
Shluchim all rely on their own fundraising and each Chabad House is a separate non-profit run by them. They have a lot of control over their own programming and only ostracism for going against core Chabad theology in a major way keeps them in line. We have very weak central authority.
Weird ostracism patterns can occur in a narrow field they think you threaten their tiny pond in which they are a big fish. I've seen the same in several fields of geoscience as I've seen in fallings out among the local cactus and succulent growers, or among student clubs. Primate social heirachies.
This is exactly what we ought to build for ICE, CBP and other DHS officers that participated in the Gestapo raids on American cities. Let the world know who they are so that the shame and ostracism can follow them forever.

For me it's less "forcing people under the threat of ostracism" and more "I don't feel safe around these people."
If enough people feel unsafe around them that they become ostracized, that's sort of a "consequences of their own actions" sort of deal.
We can whiplash their choice to work for fascist killers with complete ostracism. Stop serving them in stores, restaurants & for personal services. Refuse to deliver to their places of business & homes. Don’t use honorifics in reference to them or their positions. It is a human disgrace to be MAGA.

I hope S. Korea requires national changes on immigration before they agree to send their folks back over here. Let Kemp suffer for hitching his wagon to Donald Trump.

I spend a lot of time with artists (including my wife), writers and musicians.

Men have regressed & shunned growth while embracing rapists & brazen misogyny that at the very least in the past would have resulted in their ostracism for being poor gentlemen. Women continue to progress, expecting men to be involved fathers & partners, or not have the role at all.
I am in hopeful anticipation for the day when this administration crumbles and all of Trump’s goons get their comeuppance in the form of long prison terms and/or societal ostracism.
Japan doesn’t have a shy culture. It has a culture where quiet is the expectation in most situations and social ostracism is a serious consequence for breaking social norms. That’s still good for neurodivergent folks (it’s like the place is designed for us), but it’s not shy.
It’s such a very uniquely modern liberal writer idea to assume that social ostracism isn’t an issue because kids are smart enough to do it only to the bad ones.
I'm in full agreement with you. Some Jewish friends say (privately) they "don't support Netanyahu", but won't say it publicly because ostracism.
Also the "or illegal settlements persist." clause - while ABSOLUTELY true - would be a red line for virtually EVERY Zionist. Land theft is their goal.
I’m a bi man and I remember from my childhood the tail end of the Aids panic and the social ostracism, the comments and content around homophobia and there absolutely is an equivalence between the way Gay men were treated then and the way Trans people are now.
You’re correct Alistair.
Gender is irrelevant when one is first and foremost an alchemist

If you are seeking to control the behavior of strangers, especially through methods like harassment and threats of ostracism, you are, in fact, the bad one in this scenario.
I think this week has shown us it’s finally time to let “I Will Survive” in the past and choose another gay anthem, right? Let us collectively, as the community that lifted her up, give that singer the ostracism she deserves.

Thought terminating cliches pushed from an elite so bereft of virtue they dare not allow principled criticism or ostracism to pass, no matter the grief it will bring society
Josh Marshall says we can't put the genie back in the bottle, but maybe ostracism, prosecution, and incarceration would be a start?

Most believers continue to believe not because they believe the preposterous nonsense their religion spews but because they don’t want the conflict and the ostracism that follows. So they bury their reason and go along with the bullshit. #Realism
Don’t be that person b:c you are the one giving 1/2
This resonates. At least with virtue signaling there was a clear indicator of what common ideals should be.
We need to bring back shame, embarrassment, and public ostracism directed firmly at degenerate “conservatives” (read: “nazis”).
NewsNation is advertising an interview with Cheryl Hines, highlighting her unfortunate ostracism from, Hollywood
Sorry if nobody owes you a role since you turned into a shitty person, Cheryl
You're only so talented, and when you become too toxic to bother hiring, that's on you
With the severe decline & deserved ostracism of the United States by the CIVILIZED world particularly members of developed nations, it is an opportunity to force the United States to adopt sensible measurement systems/scales:
-temperature: Celsius
-length/distance: meters
others?
once squeezed the public dry and kept them under an iron heel.
They even engineered systems of peer pressure, mutual surveillance, and ostracism to make the masses police themselves, turning them into the perfect ‘pigs who support the butcher.’
“For there are two possible reactions to social ostracism - either a man emerges determined to be better, purer, and kindlier or he goes bad, challenges the world and does even worse things. The last is by far the commonest reaction to stigma.”
-John Steinbeck, Cannery Row

I don't want to be seen as "normal" in a system what deems empathy as weakness, that thinks giving each other free space and help should be illegal, and tries to normalize ostracism, oppression and retaliation as the only true virtues.
No, I don't want to be normal in this kind of world.
Yes guys, it's legal to photo people in public from public property. However, it is uncouth and churlish and should rightfully result in social ostracism when you do this shit.
causing misery from the bottom up. Plus, as with anyone that gets caught up with the ultra wealthy, always has some pretty nasty dirt on their records they are too afraid to have spill out to the public out of fear of ostracism (not like we already know they do some shady
Interesting post, but the requirements for this kind of ostracism to work effectively seem like they would be rare, difficult to maintain, and arguably costly (if disruptive market entrants are sometimes valuable, for instance).
We all agree that racism is bad, therefore calling someone racist is totally unacceptable and grounds for ostracism - really is the perfect state the elite has built after so many years of papers going 'can you believe what this black named undergrad said about our beloved heros of industry*'
Plus, his only "option" for nukes would be tactical, and that would result in complete ostracism by virtually the entire world, and possibly war with NATO while all other nations stayed out of it. Putin would be in a world of hurt. He'd likely be assassinated by one of his own generals.
In classical Athens, citizens used similar pottery fragments to vote on whether a member of society would be exiled. This is the origin of the term "ostracism."
And eugenics was based on nothing solid, so the goalposts kept shifting. The boundaries of whiteness jumped to and fro, alcoholism in the family slid away as a no-go (particularly in the movies).
But the sterilizations, ostracism and murder were just as real, no matter how stupid the beliefs.
It’s people like this who cause the same ostracism they fear. You could be a pleasant person with decency, religious or not, and know we are all people on this planet. OR choose to be a pious jackass.
He’s faith isn’t Christian.. it’s colorism/racism.
How stupid to believe in a single color.
@HoarseWisperer @pfishnchipz True, but you’re talking to non historians many who arent reading. This is a fascinating deep dive into Ostracism . Well worth the read if you can get into it. doi: 10.1146/annurev.psych.58.110405.085641
