What's really annoying is it's straight out of the corpo playbook.
"We're not responsible for ______, you are because you didn't do enough ________".
The most blatant is "global warming" and "ate too much meat/didn't recycle enough/made poor choices with your car" and so on.
It'd be nice if people would stop trying to blame the worst offenses being perpetuated on people by billionaires and their pet corporations on personal choices, because it's hot liquid bullshit.
