A diatribe is a forceful, bitter verbal attack directed against a person, institution, or idea. It carves a distinct rhetorical genre from simple criticism by its sustained hostility, generalized accusations, and performative intensity — the speaker does not merely disagree but denounces. It persists through oral delivery, written pamphlets, and scripted performance, maintained by the social practice of public censure.
