The creep who listens and either accepts the non-facts or else offers no comment in rebuttal?

The employee who suffers along while never rebelling even slightly, and fails to seek work
elsewhere?

TV advertisers who display intentionally misleading commercials; or
The stupes who fall for those half-truth pitches?
