    They are grown adults so while being manipulated is certainly a problem they are still responsible for falling for it at the individual level. Like how crime is often the result of poverty and other stresses, but we still hold (most) individuals responsible for their actions.

    The community is entirely about mocking people who are facing the consequences of voting for those who make them suffer, in case you didn’t notice.

        they mentioned nothing about prisons… they said we hold people responsible. the way we punish is beside the point

        the point is that if someone does something bad because they’re the product of a poor environment, we still consider them responsible for their actions
