Throwing a pitty party isn't doing them any favours either.
IMO, most people have a personal choice to make when their lies and BS have been publicly exposed: you either "put your big boy pants on" and start dealing with your inner shadow. Or you double down on your BS and slide even further down the rabbit hole of endless human BS, losing yourself in the process.
You can try to save monsters. But you can't be surprised when they bite you.
