Some of this is a disguised argument about the word “culpable.” For basically everyone, there’s always something more one could do to solve problem X. I don’t claim that is a particularly insightful or compelling statement.
I think guilt trips are often (basically always) a tactical mistake. But this is particularly true when one’s selection criteria for who to shame suggests that one is being disingenuous. Or that one picked the target first and the complaint second.
I honestly think that I want transformations just as radical as eridu in the area of social norms and gender. It turns out that I just have different terminal values. For the benefit of bystanders (such as yourself), I’m trying to make it clear that the degree of desired transformation is not determinative of the intended destination.
