I don't see much difference, they are effect and cause.

It's victim blaming. In cases of domestic violence do you blame the abuser for abusing or the abused for not finding a way out? Do you congratulate the person not dealing with that situation for being smart enough to see that the abused should know better?

There is a difference between complacency and subjugation. We can agree to disagree.

If the abused insists the abuser takes them to an abandoned cabin in the woods where no one can hear them scream, twice, I will start blaming them for their situation.

The American public had the option of Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton or Kamala Harris and chose trump twice. Fucking half the world over in the process. My sympathy ended in 2024.

Bad analogy, but we can agree to disagree.
