Even if true (I've no idea, but I do know humans
love murmuring), why do you have no condemnation
for moronic suckers? Surely a charlatan has
no power without enough people remaining
sufficiently stupid to fall for schemes.
And please don't try to tell me they're innocent
bystanders. They're greedy pieces of shit getting
what they deserve for (1) being greedy to begin
with and (2) not having raised their game with
respect to not getting taken.
This is all natural selection, plain and simple,
and seemingly a bedrock of biological life -
if not its guiding hand. Don't let your heart
bleed completely out over it, or you're merely
admitting you're a dummy too.
