There are real problems, but assigning blame has become taboo; historically, generalizing others (reductive) easily leads to demonization and subsequent bad outcomes.
Yet, to demonize speaking suppositions (half-formed or ill-formed) undermines the problem-solving process. To utter an observation invites alternate points of view by which arguments can be parsed, while to stay silent on taboo topics is to ensure that societal consensus never matches observable reality.
For example, in the 1970s, rising crime was real. Acknowledging systemic failures rendered individual action moot: You cannot "blame the victim." Although empathetic to injustice, this rhetoric shifted policy toward moral retaliation against enforcement, making speaking obvious truths (violence and theft) a form of self-exile from accepted discourse—rendering many critical solutions silent.
