“If someone knowingly does something which is likely to lead to harm to others, of course they take some blame and culpability when it happens.”
To what extent. For example as I asked earlier
“If I smack some guy named Joseph, because I feel Jospeh is obnoxious. Is he (at all) responsible for my smacking Joseph?
Even if I warn and say hey Joseph youre not nice If you make a snide comment again Im smacking my neighbor Jospeh Smith.” would Jospeh be bear blame or culpability for his namesake’s pain?
Or as a coworker once asked do you think that by rejecting oso hoish we incited violence against ourselves over the centuries bear some blame or culpability for our persecution?
