So you really think if we identify ourselves as idiots will start improving ourselves? The very definition of idiot is that they are incapable of 1) identifying it 2) improving from their idiocy.

Calling ourselves idiot is one thing and declaring one a failed state or blaming others is different. Perhaps instead of calling them idiots (which is the title of this post), just ask them to stop blaming others for their problems. Even that's not going to do anything but at least that would be a logical assertion.
