I'm afraid this kind of reasoning has infected modern politics - anyone with power or "privilege" is assumed to be responsible for everything.

Wow. One of the best things about these abstract-annoyance posts is that people occasionally come up with perfectly good examples of my abstract pattern which are completely different from any of the instances I was thinking of myself!

The habit of blaming Minister-in-charge for everything (usually accompanied with attacks approaching the ad-hominem in style) irritates me. I know that the Minister is accountable, but that doesn't mean it's their fault. Excessively personal attacks simply make the arguments sound like they're accompanied by a series of very rapid jerks of the knee.

This in turn infects modern business. I'm not sure of the cause and effect.
