What is wrong with all these people?

[-] Tyfud@lemmy.world 17 points 5 months ago

They have been without hardship for pretty much all of their lives, and so all their thoughts are about themselves and how to exploit the world around them for their personal gain any way possible.

Nah, these are people with virtually no education, usually from cities, who are party to the criminal justice system. In other words they are completely fucked and desperate to begin with, and someone offers to sell them these tricks. Can be affluent libertarian minded dumbasses, also with no education, such as the people as you describe, though in my own experience virtually every single one was the former.

Well it's sad when you frame it like that.

It is sad. They people are mostly victims of a mail order scam that's been around so long the original scammers have long absconded. It's fascinating how it's still so prevelent, despite a 99.99% failure rate.

Dunning Krueger plus confirmation bias in a large enough functional network to reinforce stupidity.

It's been happening a lot lately, even on Lemmy.
