Love the “you made me do this to you” energy here, very progressive stance of believing that sometimes abusers just have to hit people, and there’s truly nothing that can be done about it.

Gringos and their fucking victim complex I swear. Y'all just got done toppling Syria and their people are already being stoned to death in the street when they're not being bombed. A few years ago you did it to Haiti, and they're starving to death, like you did it to Peru, and you did it to Libya, where there are slave markets now thanks to y'all.

So this is less an abusive partner insisting it's your fault and more a motherfucker who's killed hundreds waving a knife inches from your face insisting you're a menace for clocking him. The fact that the US launders its provocations through their client states doesn't mean the rest of the world is as stupid as westerners to buy it. We're not invested in empire, so we don't have to close our eyes and pretend we're the good guys in this.
