It is the Collective

Don't blame an individual.

Blame the collective of individuals who are upholding whatever it is.

An individual does not have that much power to do harm. The collective has enormous power to do harm relatively.

An individual acting as a proxy for the collective, often called a leader, is so easy to target. Because he helps the collective he represents escape from complicity. The best ones at helping the group escape rise to the top, elected or selected by the group exactly for that. So only stupid people complain about holding wealth and power to account.

This applies to all collectives. Most commonly in activist collectives who claim to be here to save you. They are the worst, the lowest of the low. Because their doctrine masquerades as the good. But it's just helping a bad group escape under a veil of planet saving.

These proxy individuals we call leaders are there to help large groups of people to escape from the complicity each member in that group partakes in.

But a collective of individuals does not think like an individual. A group is not conscious of itself so it's not possible to reason with a group. You cannot appeal to a group to change it's policy.

This is because a collective or group has no facility to observe the movement of thought as it happens. Only an individual acting independently does. And even then the individual rarely watches thought as it moves and nearly always falls back onto the unconscious group action - we escape so easily.

"...thought creates an image of the world. Then thought worships the image it just created...'"

This is why public matters and opinion which are clearly maniac and bound to devastate a society, proceed with such ease. And why so many counter collectives end up so bitter in spite of initially promoting the good, eventually causing harm in their own way too.

Incoherence. No one, even the best, are aware of the movement of thought.

So it's not the leaders of wealth and power who need to be held to account. It's the collective of individuals trying to escape, through it's worship of leadership. 

What to do?

Acting on this observation would clearly be a matter of faith, because the actions of an unconscious collective cannot be observed happening directly by the group itself. 

But God is dead. And we have killed him.
