"Social death" is a common thing on Chinese social media apparently, shame-based virtue

I assume it runs deeper, but that doesn’t feel all that foreign compared to the US, does it?

There's nothing like that in the US, not by any measure.

The whole reason you have entrepreneurs in the US is because people DON'T judge for you failing. You can always start again.

Pretty sure we judged the heck out of Juicero, Theranos, and WeWork on this very website.

		Right, but Elizabeth Holmes already has investors lined up for her next attempt to revolutionize medical testing.

		Not simply for failing though. Obviously there were other factors.

I don't know, I think it does, US social media is rather shameless, there's certainly no national social credit score or anything

		Fair enough, but are we talking credit score or shaming by other users/citizen? Shaming and bullying people who are perceived as having done something wrong on-line is not unheard of in ‘the west’. I suppose it concerns famous people far more than your ordinary social circles, though.
