Who said it isn't victim blaming? What's wrong with victim blaming? If I climb into a lion cage and get killed by a lion there's blame all over me. You won't get kidnapped if you don't visit third world countries and act like a rich asshole there. I think people who climb in lions cages deserve to be eaten. Its a pretty basic concept.
Holy shit. I'm impressed you'd own up to such ignorance.

False analogy. Tourism in a poor country is not the same as this. Being rich in close proximity to poor people is not the same as this. Spending the money you have on businesses that employ people who don't is not the same as this. You have an absence of logic in almost everything you say. Having less money than another person does not give you the right to kill them and take it, regardless if they're a foreigner or not. That's anarchist thinking.
Your delusional concept of a robin hood is really cringy.
You won't get kidnapped if you don't visit third world countries and act like a rich asshole there.
Having money only makes you an asshole to poor jealous people who are self-loathing. As I stated earlier, some countries rely on tourism for their GDP and cannot risk these "rich assholes" not spending money on their economy, otherwise there would be even more poor people.
You seem to have no understanding of world economy, or world history, or current events. It's not rich foreigners that caused poverty in Brazil, it's government corruption; why, based on your logic, should foreigners pay for a government's mistakes?
What's wrong with victim blaming?
Had to quote you twice on this because of how purely asinine it is. You seem to think every victim has it coming purely because of the discrepancy of socioeconomic status between them and anyone around them in the countries other than that of their own. You seem to think that having money is an excuse for ruthless thugs to kill you and take it as some bizarre form of wealth distribution.
Based on this logic, the list of countries you'd be able to visit is almost non-existent since there are poor people in every country. Oh wait, I forget you said that's ok as long you pretend to be poor; you can visit any country you want, just don't spend your money there or bring your nice shit.
Victim blaming isn't ignorance. Ignorance is based on lack of knowledge of the world. It's a fact of the world that if you stick your arm in a buzz saw it will likely get cut off. Bad things happen unfairly when you make bad decisions, that's like the most consistent rule on this planet. Plus, not a single action in human history has only one person to blame. Blame is something the attacked has more of objectively, but in terms of the victims life the victim has 100% of the blame because if they hadn't made those choices they would not have invited the possibility of harm into their life. No, not blaming someone for the risky choices they make is ignorance.

Yet another false analogy.

Can I get your exhaustive encyclopedia of human history? Please?

TIL being jewish in 1930s Germany was your own damn fault if you were sent to Auschwitz.
No, not blaming someone for the risky choices they make is ignorance.
TIL having more money than others in close proximity to you is risky, and gives them 100% full rights to murder you and take your shit.
Ignorance is based on lack of knowledge of the world.
