👉 The "blame weapon" is a manipulative tactic often used in interpersonal conflicts, politics, or public discourse where an individual or group shifts responsibility for a problem onto others to deflect criticism or avoid accountability. By pointing fingers at someone else, the blaming party aims to discredit their opponents, undermine their credibility, and shift focus away from their own shortcomings or mistakes. This strategy can be particularly effective in polarizing debates, as it fosters division and discourages constructive problem-solving. While it may temporarily shift blame, the blame weapon often leads to further conflict and impedes genuine resolution of issues.
