What would you call someone ‘prone to be easily exploitable’, and ‘unable to see/resist exploitation’? I’m sure there are other words that we can use too.

- loa_in_ 2y ago"Easily exploitable and unable to resist exploitation" is perfectly fine. We're not short on writing space here.
- lazide 2y agoI don’t know, sounds dumb.
- jchw 2y ago"Dumb" is an insult to someone's intelligence, as if the problem is them. Ignorant is a bit closer. But that's not actually my point to be honest, my point is that the problem is not the people who are getting screwed over. It's the people screwing them over.
- lazide 2y agoThe people screwing them over rely on a target rich environment. One could not exist without the other.
- jchw 2y agoUh huh. And what do you think causes a "target-rich environment" anyhow? Just people getting dumber for no reason?
- lazide 2y agoEveryone being pushed down Maslow’s hierarchy of needs due to macroeconomic and political forces, generally. Possibly by a population wide event like a pandemic too, of course. And/or religious influence.
