Re: Just world fallacies and victim blaming
It's amazing. It's like a device for being wrong. I propose that we put AML in a science lab. Scientists will discuss questions to which the answer is not yet known, and start with the assumption that whatever AML says is not merely wrong, but offensively stupid, and go from there. It will accelerate human scientific progress by years.
It is particularly funny coming from someone who claims to be a "libertarian". Consider two claims generally advanced by libertarians:
1. People should always be held fully accountable for their own actions.
2. One of the few legitimate purposes of government is taking action to prevent the use of force.
In short, an actual libertarian should see rapists as fully responsible volitional actors whose behavior cannot be justified or excused by circumstances, and whom the state should be dealing with forcefully and effectively. But not AML! No, AML somehow thinks that the poor sad rapists are victims of society, not accountable for the choices they've made.
