@FediThing @futurebird It is precisely about _not_ thinking.

If you dump all inarticulate, inchoate blame for the "big fuzzy cloud of badness" in your life on someone you can other(v, t)… then you _don't_ have to think about the actual causes or the fact that the solutions to those problems might be hard and involve complex socio-economic changes.

@FediThing @futurebird Failed at life? Feeling unsuccessful or unappreciated? Try racism!

@futurebird I'd respond with a few key questions:

- In what way is it not working?
- Why do you think that is?
- If you can see errors, what do they tell you?
- How can you find out more about what is or is not happening?

And there's the all-important "What are your assumptions, and are they correct?"
