It's a vague statement. Enormous wiggle room. I think there's a valuable idea somewhere in there about reflecting on the root of a problem, but the conclusion is overly fatalist. It's OK to hold someone accountable even though they are part of something bigger.

Holding someone accountable is unrelated to being mad at them.
Neither requires the other.
