Putting it like that makes it easy to distance oneself from responsibility.

Government is just a function of agreed upon values, rules and principles.

It's really a failure of our society. We're all failing.

No it is not distancing from responsibility. Governments are democratically elected by everyone. So it is clear everyone is to blame.

When you put the blame on big companies, like the person I replied to, that is distancing! Because we cannot influence those decisions.
