The parent didn't say "the poor can never be at fault for anything", they listed a few legitimate examples of victim blaming.

There was the "everything the fault of the poor" bit in the first sentence, but that was obvious hyperbole.



And I never said the poor are at fault for everything, but I'm being treated as such it seems.

What I want to know are examples of things that the poor are at fault for.


Within the context of this conversation, the burden of figuring that out would fall more properly on you, since you're the one invoking the existence of things the poor are at fault for in order to challenge someone else.

I think, though, that, unless you're coming up with examples that specifically demonstrate that the things the parent poster listed weren't actually victim blaming, such an exercise would be tangential to the subject at hand.
