    I think you have trouble differentiating between causes and fault or responsibility.

    Very dismissal of you to think that of me.

    For the record, I don’t.

    “Cruz’ crime was 100 % society’s fault”

    Nobody ever said 100%.

    Society is not responsible for the decisions you make, it’s your decision alone.

    We affect each other more than we realise and/or want to admit. Humans are social creatures.

    And again, not talking in absolutes.

        Perhaps take a look at the post again.

        I went up several levels and reviewed everything I said, and didn’t see where I ever said 100%.

        You want to point it out to me?

                Oh FFS. I was talking about our and other people’s conversation here on Lemmy about the article, and not the article itself that you linked.

                    I think you have trouble differentiating between causes and fault or responsibility. English is not my native language, so perhaps I get the inuendo wrong. But claiming “Cruz’ crime was 100 % society’s fault” absolves the murderer of all his responsibility.

                    That was the original comment by you that I replied to. The tone of that paragraph was suggesting you were speaking about me specifically.

                    As English is not your first language, I would suggest next time separating that paragraph into two paragraphs, or adding to the end of that paragraph something along the lines of “as the original article states”.
