We call them "cards" for a reason... as in trump or ace... end of game. I dislike all of them because they're all red herrings most often used to turn any real issue and debate about it into a moral one instead in which there is, hopefully, no defense and, thus, no debate or the debate turns to defending against shaming. They're usually designed to induce shame for emotional manipulation and control. The kid one is particularly offensive to me because it says I must be responsible for someone else's children or suffer shame. Sorry, it does not "take a village." It takes a parent being responsible for their own offspring. Those it appeals to are those who don't like taking personal responsibility for much of anything as well as those who feel entitled to me overseeing their kids or to their fellow citizens being controlled by laws, in the form of big government, to do so. IE: It's societies fault if their kids get into bad stuff and not their own. They are the entitled generation in other words. They want everyone to do the job they've either neglected to do or don't want to do. Its just too hard. But that's just one group. The ones who have kids. The other group supporting them is the self-righteous one. The authoritarian types who get behind any shaming manipulation as proof that they're superior beings. Politicians have always used those with that mentality but the slacker, entitled, generation is a new one they've jumped on. But its always either manipulation via "join me and be the good one" or "let me do that for you."
