Scapegoating
The evils of finger-pointing run so much broader and deeper than… and are more consequential than… the childish avoidance of responsibility…
Blaming others for one’s lack of success commits not just a transgression against others, but a transgressions against oneself…
… a justification of victimhood.
… a glorification of impotence.
… a denial of one’s dishonesty, hostility, and bigotry.
… a celebration of one’s failure to become fully human.
