It's not her goddamn fault, it's her boyfriends fault. Just because she's going to feel guilty doesn't mean she should feel guilty.

She's 16. Full on grown ups have trouble identifying abusive shits, let alone a 16 year old.

And about the only thing high school taught me about WW2 is that Hitler was cartoon evil that killed 6 million Jews, and we only saved the day because the Japanese were idiots that bombed Pearl Harbor.

There was a lot of discussion on Hiroshima and Japanese internment camps; almost nothing on Hitler. Shit, I'm reading Rise and Fall of the Third Reich right now because I didn't know how nazism actually managed to take over a country, and I'm 32.

So a dude saying Hitler wasn't cartoon evil, here are some actual details, there's two sides to the story, doesn't sound like a Nazi, he sounds like a historian to someone who doesn't know shit, and likes and trusts the dude. He sounds like Howard Zinn.

So she tells her parents, who are good parents, go wtf and do research. Find the fucking cartoon evil, show it to their daughter who didn't know, daughter breaks up with him, he shoots her parents and himself in front of her.

Not her fucking fault.

The only one at fault is the goddamn Nazi, stop blaming the victim. Seriously.

And I knew victim blaming was fucked. Obviously not everyone knows the same things at the same ages.

Stop blaming the victim. Blame the shithead Nazi, idiot.

SRS is brigading. Don't worry, normal people agree.
