By forcing an individual to feel guilty about their group identity, whether they assign themselves as part of that group or not, the individual is forced to feel ashamed and reject parts of their own history, which has come to construct their present identity. By making an individual feel remorseful about their history, which they were not part of creating, their ‘Cultural memory’ is restricted. This restriction on what an individual can and cannot uphold as their history can radicalise that culture, driving it underground where it will become more dangerous.
