Blaming yourself only works if there isn't a power asymmetry. We probably don't elect politicians because they say "we will enable the redistribution of wealth to our friends and families via allowing a war", or some such. Sure, there's probably a whole lot more each of us could be doing about any particular large-scale issue. I feel okay with many of these issues being fairly well down on my list of priorities. Beating myself up about this or that particular issue is likely to have very little effect. I'd suggest it's important that we allow each other to pick n choose which issues we focus on.
