Is there supposed to be a conflict between these two takes? Cause I don’t see it. Both are true.
Zoomboingding@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Both absolve any action an individual takes. But one blames society at large and the other blames innate human behavior. We could, presumably, improve society.

We can improve society by changing the system and by fixing the root cause. Accountability, in the sense of punishment after the fact, does little to improve it and is often counter-productive.

Things are in our hands, but we only have two of them. 👍

don’t worry, we’re doing our best to literally make it true via cars and architecture.
you can have any colour you like, so long as it’s grayscale or maybe red.

Both are yes but also no.
Each person is responsible for their own actions and choices.
Also, often systemic issues make certain behaviors far more likely, and rather than suggesting there is something inherently wrong with a person or group of people who have made those negative actions or choices, we should address the issues that contributed.
If a person beats their kids, saying they came from an abusive household does not absolve them, but if there has been a culture of ignoring (or encouraging) child abuse, addressing that would go a long way toward reducing child abuse in the next generation, for example. But the person who abused their kid still deserves the punishment they get.
