...[A] uses a common construct designed to shame C for C's failure to apologize to B and to demonstrate solidarity with B.

Karen, as long as you're into this. You have spoken of "contexts."

The context here is that a Canadian board member is trying to shame an American board member into apologizing for U.S. acts in World War II.

Do you have an opinion as to whether that is appropriate?

What if I, as an American board member, try to shame our Canadian board members into apologizing for Canada's immigration policies?

Appropriate or not?

(Your answers need imply nothing about your opinions on the acts or policies themselves).
