Do you think our society should punish malicious manipulators more severely, people have their own responsibility to keep themselves safe, or like most things in life, little of both?

If you live long enough and interact with the world at large, you will eventually be a victim. You might have avoided 99 other scams or situations where somebody was trying to manipulate you but eventually, you’ll fall “victim” to something.

Having a duty to try to keep yourself from being taken advantage of, doesn’t mean that you should be denied help when you finally do get taken advantage of and that help be given without judgment.
