I've heard a preacher go on that blame IS power.
Logic being that both ate the apple.
Adam at the apple. He blamed eve. He gave her that power
Ever ate the apple, she blamed the serpent. She gave the serpent that power.
Serpent convinced them and said "yes, and?". He KEPT that power
Excellent point, this theme is constant throughout the bible. The very final thing Christ does as being crucified is take the blame for himself when he says "forgive them, they know not what they're doing".
He took all the blame because he had ultimate power. They were literally worthless children because they refuesed to take any of it, they had no power.
A lot of atheists bring up the
"if god is all powerful then everything i do he made me do" thinking it's a gotcha without realizing
it's actually a central theme in the bible. When people in the bible point this out to god he says it to "yes, and?". By admitting you have free will of your own, you reclaim some of that power for yourself, it's the first step to admitting that you're worthy of something, god controls it all but a small part of that control is in you.
It's a more important mechanism now than ever because it's the main way to disarm wokescolding, sjwism, and cancel culture.
Their social power comes not from the accusation itself, but the squirming their opponent's do when accused of something that's not even wrong. When the crowd sees the accused person acting like they did something wrong, people assume they did. It's how leftists establish something normal as unacceptable, by starting out assertively to force you to agree to their frame of reference.
1: They accuse you of violating a moral norm that nobody agreed was even a moral norm. Intent doesn't matter, only percieved harm.
2: The moral frame is non-negotiable. You're not asked to explain but told you are guilty, any attempt to defend yourself is framed as further guilt.
3: You're required to confess, overexplain, and beg. Groveling is seen as a virtue and forgiveness is not garunteed.
The answer when accused of something you actually did or believe is to say
"yes, and?" like the serpent did.
Not because the serpent was good, it wasn't good, but it did understand this concept of owning your intent as power as did many righteous people later in the bible. Including Jesus.

You guys were talking yesterday about how wojacks and pepes and memes are modern mythos and this archetype shows up everywhere:
Don't anticipate the crowd turning against you or they will, if you imply you're doing something wrong the plebs will assume you are. Just hit the ball back to the accuser's court and see what they do next. It's good for THEM too and can be their first redpill. They're children, how are they supposed to it's allowed to stand against something if they've never seen anybody do it?
It's also important to not be too much of a dick or too aggressive about it, that is also a form of anticipating rejection just as much as groveling. The key is to not treat it as a big deal.
You'll also see this in your place at work, if you ever worked in food (especially with a lot of women) everybody has had that coworker that accuses another of doing something that really wasn't that bad, but the accused starts getting defensive.
I used to be this way and I don't really know what changed, but eventually I figured out that if you just say
"hmmm? oh yes I did cut the tomatoes that way. You are correct i did do that" not even in a smug way, just factually, things go much better. Your accuser won't even know what to do, their brain never conceived a reality where that happened and they don't know what to do next.
It also works with cops. Just tell them what you're actually doing and own it and
they won't get afraid. If you assume they're trying to find something you did wrong, and you fidget around, they're going to simply sense that something is wrong. A LOT of black people would be alive if they understood this concept.
Also for you young'uns out there:
Doing this on dates will get you laid even by the most outspoken feminist you've ever met.
Do what you want and own who you are and you disarm the most important weapon clown world has: fear of ostracization.
