Being uninformed does not mean one deserves crimes committed against them. The fault lies with those doing the stealing, not the victims of theft.

- lazide 4y agoWhen the victims are greedily persuing impossible gains, it’s hard to consider them truly innocent in the endeavor. It’s like a con artist taking advantage of folks by convincing them to do a get-rich-quick scheme. It’s hard to not consider everyone as shitty in the scenario.

- lazide 4y agoThat just reinforces my point, since everything you’re describing is just ‘get-rich-quick’. Very few people thought they were legitimately doing something that created actual value, just getting on the train to getting rich without having to do anything.
