🤔
These types of effects can also occur if people have, for example: witnessed violence; survived other violent crimes; experienced social injustice; been involved in accidents; or had combat experience.
one of these is not like the others
also
I just realized we call sexual assault survivors "survivors"
like
were they expected to die from it?
can I say that I'm a survivor of eating a moldy scone?
No
I suppose the saying goes: "Context matters man"
true
like yes
they had to live through it
but survivor sounds like the default expectation is death
I suppose it's the best word we have for it
The survivor in of itself invokes sympathy and emotion.
For this reason I submit that this is why they say "survivor".
so you think it's also a rhetoric thing?
seems reasonable
The modern left is very good at pulling your heart strings.
Why going through the free market of ideas when you can appeal to emotions?
Its faster and grants the desired effect quicker.
I don't buy into the whole "When they're drunk, it is *never* the victims fault" thing
like
if you go get blackout drunk alone with a guy who has a reputation for that sort of thing
and everyone said "don't do it, something bad will happen"
that's on you
@Onyxdood It's pretty much entirely about that. The modern fight between reason, and sophistry
that's like leaving your car doors unlocked in a bad neighborhood and then complaining when stuff gets stolen
I have very little sympathy
**Charlemagne#7861** was cleansed from the server.
one of them commited it
and the other one put themselves in a position where they knew it was likely to happen
I understand the reason.
