"if somebody is stupid enough to get used/played/manipulated/conned, they deserve the consequences."

lately i've wondered if this attitude is more widespread than i thought. obviously this is an issue with a LOT of grey area but i think overall with some thought it shouldn't be too hard to place yourself as more sympathetic toward someone who gets fucked over or more scornful toward someone who doesn't use their head and makes stupid decisions. (or however else you would frame the issue - comments welcomed.)
