Blind Blame (otherwise known as Blindfolded Blame) is when someone accuses something or someone else of something that is actually the fault of either the Blind Blamer's own short-comings, or a lack of understanding the other side's perspective/reasoning. The lack of both self-reflection and seeing other perspectives makes it a form of Miserablism, and is most done by students and some political activists.
Examples of Blind Blame include:
• Students (who dont pay attention or study any good) blaming teachers or the education system for their bad grades, without thinking about 1: if they maybe didnt study well, didnt pay attention or just never bothered asking questions, or 2: the reasons the teacher has for giving them that grade, and the reasons the education system has for working the way it does.
• Political activists (who are bad with money and lack good work ethics) blaming capitalism for why they're poor and calling for communism, despite not taking into account 1: their own financial decisions and how their resumé looks in current job market, or 2: why communism usually leads to even more poverty and how capitalism, while not perfect, has more opportunities for monetary success
Note: remember that these examples are not saying that blaming teachers or politicians is always Blind Blame. There's a reason I specified "who dont pay attention" and "who lack good work ethics" in these subjects. Its just those subjects with these traits that I am reffering to

Get the Blind Blamemug. When a person overlooks every single sign that someone clearly is madly in love with them because they “don’t really want a relationship right now” or are afraid of love.

Get the Cankle Blindnessmug. When people on the internet cannot see satire due to it being said by a group of people seen as “cringe” or otherwise believed to be prone to saying such things.
“I saw this post where this girl was talking about meeting Dream SMP members at a fake school.”
“That was obviously a joke, you’re so satire blind.”
