You have been saying this whole time that it is societies fault that people rape, murder, steal, etc. Now you're saying it's their own responsibility and they are also enforcing the system who's laws they are are breaking?? Do you even read what you're typing?
The only thing questionable is your reading comprehension. Our society exacerbates these problems by addressing everything at the symptom level of punishing individuals, which allows root causes to be ignored. Extreme wealth and extreme poverty are both root causes, but the only people to blame are those with the power to make changes. In other words the rich and powerful. They keep us in poverty and ignorance so they can stay in wealth and ignorance. They're still responsible.
Everyone is responsible for their own actions. Having a shitty life doesn't excuse victimizing others.
Where did I try and excuse it? It happens, and certain circumstances make it worse. You can cry about who should or shouldn't do what or you can make the fucking changes.
Not sure what you think I have the power to change buddy. All most of us can do is be the best we can on an individual level which means not victimizing each other as a start. If someone can't even manage that I don't have a lot of sympathy for them.
You have the power to attack the people responsible with the same fervor that you're coming after me.
The people running shit dgaf about you and I whining on the internet.
The difference is that I'm trying to wake people up to join the conversation and you're drunk on the status quo.
Excusing the actions of murderers, rapists, and thieves isn't the way to do that bud. I'm not drunk on anything, just realistic.
I'm sorry that you're incapable of basic logic and reasoning, but clearly you've wasted too much of my time.
