Depends. When they are told about it, actually presented evidence of the harm that is happening, do they change their mind?
Because that hasn’t been what I’ve noticed in discussions on the subject. Instead, I’ve noticed even here people readily use whatever excuse to dismiss problems as isolated incidents and blame the victims. I linked an example discussion for drone strikes; have you really never seen examples for the others?
I’m not surprised; you previously were willing to use any quibbling to dismiss what I said, and caricaturing it as itself victim blaming is a good way to do that. I assume accusing ordinary people who believe in voting of propping up the system that oppresses them was victim blaming too, right? No, of course that’s totally different.
But no, I’m not a politician. I know, you think I’m wrong, and a member of the general public would never be on the wrong side of an issue. But if I were, I doubt I would be so eager to have the public own up to what they allow in their politicians and realize they shouldn’t have to accept it.
