Why is it I have to keep thinking about the victims?
They tend not to have the power to stop the abuse.
The tragedy hits them.
Breaks them.
For no fault of their own.
THERE WAS NOTHING THE VICTIM COULD'VE DONE DIFFERENTLY.
If you say there was you are victimblaming.
I KNOW they feel bad.
It is OBVIOUS.
They were violated.
Why not take the jump and think about what makes the abuser feel bad?
Before they've done anything.
Before they do more.
What are they running from?
What drives them to EXTREME ACTIONS to ease their suffering?
THERE WAS A LOT THE ABUSER SHOULD'VE DONE DIFFERENTLY.
And the abuser is their enviroment.
All the labels sticked onto them.
...
I'm probably still prioritizing wrong or devaluing the victim.
Victims are the symptom, not the cause.
Come on, bash my face in with that brick, I know you want to.
Since i havent seen a reference to Hitler in a while and we need to adhere to Godwin's Law here it goes:
Hitler had a shit life, got influenced and mislead by his time's antisemitism, and he was rejected from art school several times... yes, a "victim" of his time and circumstances.
But when you "turn" from victim to perpetrator, you absolutely deserve no sympathy or mercy, unless its within the boundaries of reforming. Then you need to be put down like a rabid dog, so you dont infect or kill others.
If you cant agree with this youre just an apologist and complicit.
Guess I'll keep on derailing and ridiculing myself.
Hitler is quite an extreme example. He was literally the most nazi nazi who had will, determination, and the conditions to carry out his sick fantasies. Most nazis I've come to contact with are the ones contaminated by shitty memes, and then they reach this edginess threshold, after which people around them start to push them away,
towards the more radical viewpoint.
It's not that they are beyond saving, one can wake up from coma speaking only french for fucks sakes. It's just we are, probably justly, prioritizing other people. And that hurts the would-be-nazis and validates their worldview.
That's all I'm trying to say.
