"Don't hate the player, hate the game"
I believe lack of social ostracization is one of the reason we find ourselves in current state. Because players are what perpetuates the game.

Capital is far more powerful than social ostracization. Consider the middle east situation: most of the money is on the opposite side from most of the people. You get kicked out of most groups for advertising that you support the money side. But the money side still won because it paid off everyone important.
Yes, I've always disliked this saying. People have agency. They can always refuse to play the game (and that is precisely what many great people chose to do).
Refusing to play the game just means you lose the game. It isn't a third state, it's a resignation.
