As government officeholders face criticism for misconduct or policy failures, they are tempted to communicate in self-defensive ways. In this paper, I draw attention how strategic blame avoidance may involve coercive impoliteness, that is, the use of expressions attack (potential) critics with an aim forcing them withhold their (future) criticism. Taking a discourse-historical approach political rhetoric, present illustrative examples institutional messaging from United States, Kingdom, Estonia, and Russia demonstrate these attacks be accomplished subtle ways, such as via sarcasm mock politeness. discuss ethical implications uses impoliteness communication democratic debates over public issues. The paper contributes study games, language aggression, incivility (digitally) mediated contexts.
