It's your fault for using that shit and contributing to its widespread acceptance, thereby inflating the bubble. And you are therefore responsible for the consequences, among which completely unrelated people lose lots of money. If only that was the worst of it.
By your logic, when you give your vote to a fascist party, and they proceed to win the election and turn your country into a fascist dictatorship, then that is also not your fault.
You speculate that Grand Old Pedophile party voters could not have done anything against the rise of fascism, I state that they did not even try - even worse, they actively enabled pedocriminal rapists and murderers. They are absolutely responsible for this clusterfuck we have right now. Are they the only ones responsible? No - but they could definitely have TRIED to prevent this shitfest.
I suppose I don't even want to hear specifics about that use of machine learning...
that is what the rich assholes want us to believe. Of course the individual is powerless, but if just 10-20% of mankind happened to be pulling on the same end of the rope for once (I know, fat chance of that happening), this stupid system could be fixed. As long as people are willing to betray their peers for minimal (perceived) personal gain, we're being useful idiots to those who have been stealing their billions from everyone.
