I also feel bad for those people though.
They're caught in a web of conspiracies and lies that are, literally, designed to prevent them from escaping. Any attempt to save them is met with accusations of "fake news" or being "sheep."
They're self-perpetuating victims of their own "heroes."
If someone you admire takes advantage of you, I can feel some sort of bad for you, yes.
If your hero is your hero because he is a rich, unapologetic, rule-breaking, money-grubber and he takes advantage of you then I think you may as well be flatted to be his victim.
