I don’t understand. Who is the victim that I am blaming here? I was trying to support FLI by pointing out that, in my experience, when I hear an organisation described as “far-right”, that tells me very little except that it is probably not openly and explicitly Marxist. Perhaps Nya Dagbladet is one of the rare exceptions who actually deserve the label—I don’t know, I never heard of them before this controversy. But I definitely sympathise with FLI’s not immediately giving 100% credence to the accusations.
I mean victim blaming in a sort of conceptual way. I guess the “victims” in this case would be potential targets of the far-right, who would correctly describe Nya DagBladet as far-right.
They might be disappointed if they are told they actually caused this problem, because the term is used to often.
This might be particular upsetting, if someone has been the target of harassment or violence from someone on the far-right.
