David Estlund has recently asked how structural injustice can warrant resentment and indignation, given that it cannot fully be traced to culpable conduct. This article answers Estlund’s question. I propose that a social structure is an object that persists through time and is materially constituted by humans in relation. I use accounts of the point of blame to vindicate attitudes of resentment and indignation that target social structures themselves, without necessarily targeting their human constituents.
