We live in a religious society that promotes a culture of bigotry. Does this mean we shouldn’t blame bigots?
We live in a patriarchal society that doesn’t take violence against women seriously. Does this mean that wife beaters aren’t to blame?
We live in a capitalist society that promotes selfishness and greed. Does this mean we shouldn’t blame selfish people? (Which is most of them.)
We live in a racist society… etc.
You are responsible for your actions and your beliefs. Step one to improving our society is accepting the reality that most humans have a poor (nearly non-existent) relationship with morality. They’re easily swayed by fallacious arguments because they are irrational and stupid. These are empirical facts about human beings that we ignore (with memes like this) at our own peril.
And this right here folks is why nothing will ever change. Because phantasmagorical ideological abstractions get blamed instead of actual features of reality, such as psychopathy, ignorance, greed, selfishness, and so on. You are part of the problem. Maybe even the cause.
Trying to be as moral as possible will leave you alone and depressed. Hell even doing bare minimal stuff like not traveling much or not killing animals for your taste buds makes you an outsider and those are only two small things (nearly) everyone could without much struggle.
Humans are not able to be rational beings as we run quite literally on emotions and a lack of those does not leave us super smart and efficient but friggin depressed and in dire need of help.

We should blame religion, patriarchy, racism and capitalism.

Those are perpetuated by the stupidity and gullibility described above.

“it is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.”
How dare you say something that requires self-reflection in a meme thread made by MAGA-style ideological-purity-testing imbeciles.
