What's more horrifying, that people are human and make mistakes, or that if you're "important" what would normally be one-off mistakes forgotten and buried become career-defining events thanks to the collective shaming capacity of the internet.
- grecy 9y ago>people are human and make mistakes Our legal system is not forgiving of people that make mistakes. "I accidentally fell asleep at the wheel and killed someone" = manslaughter = prison. What this person did is very wrong, and everyone who does it should be punished, regardless of their obscurity/fame.
- wfo 9y agoActually, one-off mistakes for the poor are not forgotten and buried, they translate to brutal imprisonment and abuse for years. The wealthy (i.e. "important") get away with permanent collective shaming and it's a complete joke compared to the horrors the poor have to face.
