Social Stigma Quotes

“The most impressive being my lavish collection of majestic suits. They’re sure to entice without having to roll the dice.”

“Restaurant owners shouldn’t deceive their clientele into paying their workers. Instead, they should pay their workers decent wages and price their food higher. Let the customer decide if they want to buy their food or drinks for the price listed on the menu instead of paying a lower-marked price for their food, temporarily believing that’s all they have to spend, and then later being reminded they also need to pay the restaurant owner’s workers in the form of a tip … or be labeled an asshole if they don’t—it’s blackmail. And the pathetic thing about this scheme is that the waiters, the slaves, perpetually enforce this scheme upon the clientele, so the battle is always between the customer and the waiter, while the restaurant owners—the real assholes, not the customers who don’t tip—count the money in the backroom that their slaves have generated for them. Restaurant owners have effortlessly created the social stigma that labels a customer an asshole if they don’t pay their workers’ wages. What the fuck is that? How did that become acceptable?”

“Not being able to be our true self or live authentically ultimately puts us under pressure. Even if you can endure it for a while, there will always be a limit, and eventually, it will become unbearable.”

“Society must shed its dead traditions, like one sheds dead skin.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Mucize Insan: When The World is Family

“As with other forms of mother blame, the issue of “permissive” or “smothering” mothers was central to Bruch’s theory. Bruch’s writings on “obesity” are worded with examples of mothers who overfed their children to show affection, to reward, to placate, to assuage guilt, and encourage dependency. Bruch (1973) also linked fatness in children, particularly boys, to effeminacy and homosexuality, thus intertwining mother blame, fatness, and homosexuality in a particularly potent way.”
