I'm not defending it, ... we are complicit
While I agree that most of the blame lies with the company,...,Our side has made many mistakes as well to put us in our current position.
Yes, you are definitely defending it and victim-splaining. It appears you are very reluctant to place anything clearly on the company. Was the guy who was provoked by his wife when he beat the snot out of her, contributory to the situation? Yes, maybe if you are trying to defend the wife beater. Yet it is the wife beater who is convicted--not the provoking wife. Stop defending the wife beater. Seriously.
