Who is more the fool? The fool, or the fool who follows the fool?

I could not agree more. 5 years ago I would have been entirely against "blaming the victim" because there wasn't that much information on how corporations were fucking everyone over, so only the paranoid (like some of us here) were already either taking action or looking into ways to take action.

However, today nobody has an excuse to keep getting fucked claiming "I didn't know". The information on all the bullshit these corporations pull on customers is more abundant than air, yet people choose to keep giving them money.

So, yeah, I'll be LMAO watching this unfold.

there wasn’t that much information on how corporations were fucking everyone over,

I'm sorry, what? Did you think the entire genre of corporate dystopia fiction, like Brazil or Neuromancer, was just a fabrication ungrounded in reality for decades? It's been open class war in the god damn streets.

I'm ashamed to admit that yes, I was one of those imbeciles.

At this point the victim is also the perpetrator
