This is essentially the same as blaming people for their own depression. People need empowerment if they're currently feeling disenfranchised and powerless-- especially if they're also depressed or anxious. As an analogy, if someone is upset about something, they often need some empathy before they can listen to anyone tell them how to "fix" a problem. (Especially if the "fix" creates other problems they're not sure how to cope with.)

The reason fascists are making such great strides again as living costs and loneliness are on the rise is because they're very effective at acknowledging people are hurting FIRST (without minimizing or shaming them for hurting in the first place). Then they go on to set up the scapegoats and reinforce the in-group dynamic.
