"Once you've accepted the tyranny upon yourself, then you really need to enforce it on others to make sure that you're not the fool."
— Libby Emmons, executive editor of The Post Millennial on Timcast IRL 16 September 2021
We have a phrase for that but doesn't quite translate as well into English. Translated, it would roughly be "spreading the blame."
