Guilt and shame are effective ways is getting people to challenge their views
Not really. It does tend to send the undesirable behavior into secret behavior.
Even then this meme strawmans both liberals and conservatives. If the goal is to make them confused and defensive then excellent job.

I'm just saying this meme doesn't do what OP says it does. I never said memes are a substitute for education or theory.
