    Honestly, respect the hustle. Separating rubes from their money is less morally bankrupt than being a capitalist at least

      yeah sure, but i would respect the hustle a lot more if they werent also boiling the oceans

      and everyone is vulnerable to being conned on something, and the people who really get hurt by all of this (as always) are going to be a bunch of poor suckers who are so desperate for a break that theyll fall for smoothly-sold bullshit, and who absolutely could not afford to spend eight thousand dollars on a jpeg

        I don't have 8 thousand dollars, and if I did I would not spend it on a doodle

          we are all vulnerable to cons of some sort, though in our cases its obviously more likely to be a political than a financial con-artist that gets us

          nobody is immune to being taken advantage of

              *gestures broadly at just about every cult ever*

              plenty of cons arent about money
