Sympathy? No. But no parades either, because most bad actions are still bad, even if that particular victim deserved it.
Just because they shit on a bigger piece of shit doesn’t excuse all the shit they’ve dumped on regular people.
For the first time in my life, I have the sudden urge to listen to dave matthews band.
Instead of listening to them just steal a tour bus and dump the septic tank off the nearest bridge.
Are they scamming the rich to help the poor? I don’t have any sympathy for rich people falling victim to scams, but I wouldn’t throw a parade for someone who just did something selfish.
This is a slippery hill into those pedo hunter groups where people just want a reason to abuse someone else and be glorified for it
I woulda said the slope leads to some “who watches the Watchmen” type shit
I was thinking more like someone who electonically robs Meryl Lynch or something. and take that money and donates it to a bunch of charities. Not just the write off charities corporations use.
It may start off that way but you’ll quickly have copy cats with less than noble intentions
We shouldn’t. They don’t live in our reality therefore they don’t receive the benefits of said reality.

when they’re rich beyond a certain extent, they must be evil, because the way to amass such wealth would not be through honest labour. But otherwise I take your point

We do that on the Saint Luigi. It’s like St Patrick’s day, but with the color red, to evoke the blood of CEOs and billionaires.
Why shouldn’t we?
Is understanding another’s point of view ever a bad thing?
Does feeling sorry for a scam victim mean we can’t feel proud for the scammer?
Do feelings and emotions need to be bound by the laws of logic?
Do we not experience conflicting emotions, simultaneously?the scammers are more likely target less “fortunate” people after they are done with the rich ones. its just the rich one has more money, so they are a easy target. they are pretty indiscriminate
No. Jail the scammers, and tax the wealth. What do you think the scammers want to do with the money they fleece? Good? Hell no, they want to be the next rich guy refusing to reinvest in the society they benefit from existing in.
Law matters, if you let scammers scam those you deem justifiable you open the door to them scamming everyone else, including those you would judge unworthy of victimization. In the same respect you must punish financial crime when it occurs or you get… well… this. This is why people talk about justice being blind and not picking favorites, and why it’s an affront to moral law that we punish petty crime more severely than mass social violence committed by super rich corporations for profit. At least in today’s America, as long as you are making a healthy buck in it, it’s not a crime.
What happened?

Why do you think it’s only the rich?
You shouldn’t. I don’t.
