I did not. Read more carefully.

Explanations do not need to be a mechanism for assigning blame. I'm not even sure what it would mean to "blame" society; that's barely more sensible than "blaming" a hurricane. Perhaps I lack the clarity of thought of someone who thinks they know what I've said better than I do

I just assumed you were using "blame" in the accusatory/judgmental sense. I don't think that's sensible, but the alternative you're proposing here is that you genuinely believe society isn't a causal agent re: violence, and that's just impossible to defend.

I would suggest that the fact that different societies seem to produce drastically different rates of counterproductive coping behavior and "shitty people" is a pretty damning piece of evidence against this
