Ok, lets say it's all society's fault.

No, I don't think you've comprehended what I was saying correctly, it should not be taken literally. I was being deliberately facetious to make a point.
I was taking his way of thinking to its logical conclusion, demonstrating why it's a stupid way of looking at the world because it deliberately makes you feel incapable of changing things. If you blame something you cannot control for your problems you give up on the idea you have the power to change things. The whole problem with depression is it distorts the way you think in precisely this self-defeating way.
