Why engage in a enlightened debate when you can shift the blame on to an entire generation.
Yanny - Stupid boomers, why didn't they use solar panels or windmills.
Lauren - Because they were super expensive and less effective at the time?
Yanny - That's no excuse, they should have looked at the icecaps! Besides, they had that oil-shortage in the seventies. Surely they should have seen the signs in the sky!
Lauren - Well - the icecaps weren't degrading as badly as today... I believe the oil-crisis was caused by international politics, and presumably some scientists predicted in the seventies that we were on the verge of a new ice-age.
Yanny - Greenpeace knew about global warming, but people didn't care.
Lauren - Sometimes Greenpeace went a little overboard, the petrolium industry was acting reactionarily not to mention lead-added gasoline, and people also worried more about the cold war for a long time...
Yanny - After the cold war ended, they should have done more!
Lauren - I think so too, but at that time, the effects of climate change were still lessened by the ocean dampening the effects.
Yanny - But in the 2000's, they must have known!
Lauren - Yeah, I think that was when the movement started to gather steam, and they also worried about 9/11.
Yanny - Aren't you just a boomer apologist?
Lauren - Aren't you boomer blaming?
Yanny - No, they are the reason the climate has gone crazy!
Lauren - Partially, but the effects take so long that...
Yanny - Ok, If I just say I am a boomer blamer will you shut up!
Lauren - Okay.
The antithesis of "Credit"
Hym "If I set a rake outside of your door. Who is to blame if you step on it and bash your face? You stepped on it. You're the one who got hurt but it wouldn't have happened if I hadn't put it there. If I write a soliloquy and someone else builds a movie around it; who deserves the credit? The people who wrote all of the general themes and the soliloquy or the person who stepped on the rake? This isn't about you're earned whatever vs my unearned. It's about you trying to arbitrate who deserves what. And if you can do it then so can I. I can arbitrate what you deserve and get the credit I deserve and there is nothing you can do to stop me. Give it to me or I'm going to take. The emails can be excavated. Your role in all of this can be illuminated for everyone to see. You don't have to like it but what's the alternative? Me showing you a more potent version of playing God? You don't have the high ground here. You don't win this. You don't prove a point. You don't dissuade me. You begrudgingly give me what I want because it is the ONLY leverage you have to get me to do what you want."
This is when there is a horrible piece of art or gross food on the table that needs to go away but there is not a polite way to remove it. So, you destroy it and then blame it on the ghost.
Person 1: What happened to that horrid, inspirational cat poster the boss put on the wall?
Person 2: I couldn’t stand it anymore and ripped it off the wall! What will I tell her?
Person 1: Blame it on the ghost! There is always some spooky shit going on around here.
When multiple people try and blame the same event on one another in a group argument
Six people in the elevator and someone slips out a silent bomb, the finger pointing started out small but turned into a full out blame-storm before the doors opened.
Biden Blame Syndrome (BBS) is an inclination to disproportionately blame President Biden for a range of issues, regardless of his actual involvement. Those with BBS often fixate on Biden as a convenient scapegoat, attributing undue blame to him even when other factors or individuals are more responsible
Blaming Biden for greedflation? Classic case of Biden Blame Syndrome right there.
"Biden Blame Syndrome (BBS) is the tendency to disproportionately blame President Biden for various issues, regardless of his involvement or responsibility. Those affected by BBS often use Biden as a convenient scapegoat, overlooking other contributing factors or individuals who may be truly at fault. This syndrome manifests even when Biden is entirely blameless, demonstrating a fixation on attributing responsibility to him at all costs. In some cases, individuals may experience BBS reflexively to shield the actual culprits from accountability.

Person B: But the computer is old.
Person A: I don’t want to hear your excuses!
Person B: Don’t make a close minded blame.
