"We’re gonna have to face it, we’re addicted to blame."
My sister just described a conversation she had with a friend. It struck me it was almost identical to one I also had recently with a friend.
It was about the role of blame in our society. It went a bit like this:
Me: “I don’t believe in blame.”
Them: “Me neither. Oh, except for, like, really bad people.”
Me: “Like who?” (laughing a bit)
Them: “Well, Trump, Elon Musk, Liz Truss, people like that.”
