Actually, society is entirely willing to blame itself for your shortcomings, and constantly criticizes itself for failing its citizens. If it blames anyone, it's those already at the top. The rest it considers of no consequence, and either an annoyance or mere victims of its machinery (depending on the color of your tie).
Which, in the end, is part of the problem. No one is accountable for their own actions anymore. This only compounds the impression of the meaninglessness of life and the feeling of disempowerment.
