If I say "try and avoid street X, there have been violent attacks there", is that victim blaming?
-
@PhilosophyExp@AndrewDEvans That's an insane analogy. Where for example is the crime the US military was a victim of?
@underverse @AndrewDEvans Eh? I'm not sure what we're talking about here! It wasn't supposed to be any kind of analogy. (Not being snarky.)

@PhilosophyExp@AndrewDEvans We're talking about the culpability (or lack thereof) of someone who has been wronged. The subtext is obvious. -
@underverse@AndrewDEvans Sorry, it wasn't obvious to me, so clearly I'm not going to be able to cope with this conversation. Such is life. -
@PhilosophyExp@AndrewDEvans I'm sure you don't think that@sjzara's tweet about victim-blaming was apropos of nothing. -
@underverse You clearly don't think I'm a good faith interlocuator, so I have absolutely no interest in talking with you. It's just boring. -
@PhilosophyExp Let me clarify then I'm genuinely curious of what you think the context is. I believe it's follow-up on "Don't Get Drunk" -
@underverse head. So I came back to twitter, saw a convo in progress, didn't read back through the tweets, and just responded! That was it. -
@PhilosophyExp Fair enough. I do believe that is the context, though, in which case war in Iraq is a poor analogy. -
@underverse Well, I don't think Iraq would be any kind of analogy (which gives credence to my not realizing context!). :) - 2 more replies
