today, the big Other’s inexistence has reached a much more radical dimension: What is more and more undermined is precisely this symbolic trust which persists against all skeptical data. …Far from cheerfully assuming the inexistence of the big Other, the subject blames the Other for its failure and/ or impotence, as if the Other is guilty for the fact that it doesn’t exist, i.e., as if impotence is no excuse—the big Other is responsible for the very fact that it wasn’t able to do anything: The more the subject’s structure is “narcissistic,” the more he puts the blame on the big Other and thus asserts his dependence on it. The basic feature of the “culture of complaint” is thus a call, ad- dressed at the big Other, to intervene and to set things straight
