Political Weirdos

It's definitely an abhorrent take to blame the victim. I wish it were uncommon enough for it to be incomprehensibly strange. To me it reeks of the insularity and rationalization of one who won't accept the idea that the environment may have stochastic elements with significant influence.

The idea that injustice is common and can easily happen to anyone without the power to defend themselves is scary. It's much easier to assume an orderly and just environment. I feel like that's how we get comments like this. Their knee-jerk reaction sounds to me like:

"I've never experienced or observed something like this. He must have done it."

Whereas, in my opinion, it should be:

"Wow, that's horrible, and shouldn't happen."

I know we can't solve all problems for everyone. Theres always going to be some kind of baseline for terrible things happening. I'm just repelled by the notion that there are people who will revel in it, even if ignorantly or naively.
