 Of course, you might worry about supposing that there is such a thing as a general right or entitlement to blame in the first place. Matt King (forthcoming) argues on these grounds in favor of skepticism about the notion of standing. According to King, there is nothing distinctive about the “who are you” charge, and he offers an account of what goes wrong with hypocritical blame by appealing not to the idea of standing but instead to the idea that the hypocrite is violating norms of priority (or perhaps norms of involvement) that specify where our critical focus ought to be. The hypocrite’s focus is in the wrong place, and this provides the hypocrite with a weighty moral reason not to blame.
