It might be my fault if I put you in a room full of flammables, turn the lights out, and close the door. People who trot out the &#x27;personal responsibility&#x27; mantra tend not to have much experience with situations in which their autonomy is curtailed. This is not to say there is no such thing as personal responsibility, but you plainly have a hard time conceiving of a context where you are not the author of your own situation.
