Blame isn’t a good word for this (not what I intended either) because it suggests superiority, knowing better.

If we are not engaged in leading by example then it does come back to culture and society.

So, I agree but not entirely. Twitter and modern social media is practically a democratized manifestation of the paparazzi and the gossip mag. Gossip in this form is toxic as fuck - we’re not small villages where everybody knows each other any more.
