Probably nobody reading this needs to hear this, but maybe I'm wrong--if you're going after someone for something they didn't actually cause or have any authority over, and your reason is you can reach them but not the folks actually responsible, take a moment and reconsider.

To be honest, when you have this reaction, it's the beast...that is to say the animal part of you rather than the sophont. Social animals engage in redirected aggression...attacking what's there instead of the cause. When a horse or a dog does it, we tell them to knock it off.

Why are you doing this? To stop or redress or improve the thing? You know full well that going after X won't actually do that, or you should. So why? To make yourself feel active, effective, Good?
