Bugenhagen said: This could be a relatively simple reaction to Israel's attacks in Gaza killing kids last week and this year been the highest on record for Benny's boys killing and bulldozing. Another manufactured crisis. "Blaming the victim" is a term describing situations where responsibility for a harm or problem is unfairly shifted onto the person who suffered from it, rather than focusing on those who actually caused or contributed to the harm. This tendency can manifest in various settings, from crime and discrimination to accidents or interpersonal conflicts, and can perpetuate negative stereotypes or stigmatize victims further. This approach is often unhelpful and can exacerbate the original harm by discouraging people from seeking justice or support. Addressing issues without victim-blaming involves understanding and acknowledging the systemic or situational factors that contribute to these situations.
My older brother gave me the book to read first when printings resurged in 1983. I remember then seeing it in the theatre. He was only given the money for the cinema if he took his two younger brothers. Of course seven years older he would just buy kids tickets and then go into the more adult film he wanted to see with us. It left an impression
It's far more horrifying than the few phrases the average Joe, who hasn't actually read it, spouts off every day, e.g. "Big Brother, oh, that's bad, right?" It is much worse than bad.
It was entrapment. The concept of entrapment is generally understood as a scenario where someone is induced or manipulated into committing a crime they otherwise would or may not have committed. The senior Israeli government knew the attack was coming having baited it and put a thumb on the scale to help it. Hamas is bad but the ultra right Israelis, also bad. The solution is to not let them play their plan out.
Indeed, the left is always firing canons over the heads of Trumpers with references they don't begin to understand. One can be pretty confident that Wildchild and others didn't get the benefit of the standard list of children's stories, attentively read to them by parents and older siblings. We all have gaps, I must admit I started Brave New World several times but never finished it I was probably distracted by Douglas Adams' books. If you asked Trumpers to describe the following standard western kids stories, I'm sure the results would be woeful. And so they are not equipped to see the con.
Will the military who refused three Trump requests to attack Americans during his first admin, block him in his second? Let's not find out.
