This is textbook victim blaming. I imagine you don’t think he really filed a lawsuit against himself. Someone else made the decision to throw this guy in prison and garnish his income, probably until he passes.
Not that I disagree with it per se, just this language reads as a sort of “culpability laundering”. Another way to say practically the same thing: “He got what was coming.” Even if it’s literally true, “what was coming” isn’t necessarily deserved.
- sgu999 3y agoI feel like with this kind of reasoning, everyone is always a victim regardless of their actions. This man intentionally played a game that is known to be rigged and lost... > “what was coming” isn’t necessarily deserved For sure, and I agreed with that at the beginning of my previous comment
