The Anatomy of Blame: Scapegoating and the Challenge to Myanmar’s Unity

In the complex landscape of Myanmar’s ongoing struggle for democracy, the erosion of trust often stems from a deeply rooted psychological and social phenomenon: scapegoating. By unfairly projecting collective frustration and failures onto vulnerable groups or "safer" political targets, individuals and organizations often find a temporary reprieve from stress at the heavy cost of accountability and truth.

By analyzing how "displaced accountability" weakens alliances among anti-dictatorship forces, the author examines the urgent need for a transition from habitual blaming to a factual, forward-looking dialogue essential for building a unified federal future.
