But the fact is that the toxic path the family member went down only happened because of that coming out. Literally just cause and effect, it’s factually what happened.

"The husband wouldn't have beaten his wife if she didn't burn dinner."

Saying that the husband wouldn’t have beaten her if they hadn’t gotten married is a fact tho.

That doesn’t make it her fault for marrying him, she’s not responsible for his abuse. But the fact that it’s happening due to previous events is simply how the world works.

I was making a point about violence, not a fucking wedding.

[–] CaptainEffort@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

So you were making a point that had zero to do with my comment?

My comment was about how events inherently lead to other events. But that it doesn’t mean that anyone is to blame.

I can’t tell if you’re purposefully being obtuse or genuinely don’t understand what my comment was saying, or what my reply to yours implied.

[–] snooggums@midwest.social -1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (2 children)

You replied to my post while missing the point of the post. I pointed that out.

Also, your point was meaningless and irrelevant other than trying to excuse away victim blaming. A wife burning dinner might be the catalyst for the husband to respond, but reasonable husbands wouldn't beat her. They would react in some other way.

Burning dinner didn't cause a beating any more than Musk's daughter being trans caused him to be conservative. He was just a piece of shit and his daughter being trans highlighted that shittiness. She didn't cause it.

Museums are the place to display nazi propaganda. Individuals who display nazi propaganda are nazis or at least fine with promoting nazi propaganda.

I guess they could have disclaimers for context like a museum that would mean they are trying to educate viewers on how horrible the nazis were, but I doubt it. They should probably leave it to the museums.

Are you high? You didn’t post this, and you’re the one who replied to me first.

I’ve literally said multiple times that nobody is to blame, I’m genuinely starting to think you’re trolling or just looking to get into an argument for some reason. I’ve probably said that nobody should feel any guilt whatsoever, that they did nothing wrong, at least three separate times now.

[–] snooggums@midwest.social -1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

You have been excusing victim blaming by saying it is just cause and effect from your first post. That is excusing victim blaming in the same way as the article.

[–] CaptainEffort@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 months ago

I’m not excusing anything, I’m saying that in reality events lead to other events. This is just how things work, it isn’t an opinion or a slight, it’s objective fact.

Anyways, please reread the end of my last comment to you. I really can’t spell out any clearer that the victim is in no way to blame.
