It's pretty simplistic to just call a victim stupid because they didn't hide their whole life in the case that someone in the future might use information to attack them.
It's also absurd to ask a regular person living in a country like Germany to be ready at all times to defend themselves using knives or guns.
- failwhaleshark 5y agoEnough with the victimology tropes of "all victims are pure, helpless angels beyond reproach and responsibility." > It's pretty simplistic to just call a victim stupid People should be held accountable when they don't take reasonable measures to ensure their own security. You don't post your social security number, bank password, address, or birthdate online. You don't leave your car running with the keys in the ignition. You don't leave valuables in plain sight in a car. Such would be stupid vulnerabilities they created and that would be their own fault. > It's also absurd to ask a regular person living in a country like Germany to be ready at all times to defend themselves using knives or guns. It doesn't matter who or where you are, it's always personal responsibility. When the balloon goes up, you're on your own. The police cannot help you in the 5 to 45 seconds that it's over. So you're either prepared (internal locus-of-control), or it sucks to be you (external locus-of-control ... praying, tea leaves, wishing, utopian fantasies).
