well idk why all these people call it independence war, revolutionary war then but I don't really care about these semantics. To most people a war is a systematic, organized application of lethal violence between two or more parties over control of a piece of land and it's population. This can be for oppression or liberation. If you have a different definition than most than alright, but I'm not "victim blaming" for going by the definition most people use (including those fighting it) that's ridiculous lol.
Yes, you are victim blaming by suggesting people defending themselves are to blame for war.
I'm trying to understand how they are blaming anyone? Please explain what exactly he said that you consider victim blaming.
Repeatedly asserting that the people defending themselves in war are just as responsible for the war as the people attacking them, therefore war isn't pointless. That's a ludricrous stance and puts blame on the victims for the war.
