@benroyce@mastodon.social @lynfox@aus.social I don't know... maybe I'm seeing this as an outsider, but seeing a fundraiser for that piece of crap raising $400K in five days doesn't make me feel very optimist

@sabrinaweb71@sociale.network @lynfox@aus.social who?
Sabrina Web :privacypride: 📎@benroyce@mastodon.social @lynfox@aus.social the guy who shot Renee Good, I don't remember his name right now. I reported two crowdfoundings for him on gfm, but one of them was over $300K when I did it. I have heard there are other crowdfundings

🤮
do these sites provide a breakdown of contribution sizes?
a common manipulation is the false appearance of popular support with a contribution by 1-3 rich douchebags
but yes millions of americans are just sadists and bigots
there was the woman who called a kid on a playground racist slurs, she received blowback on social media
then there was blowback to that where people donated to her:
$750k!
for being racist to a kid
this fucking world

Sabrina Web :privacypride: 📎@benroyce@mastodon.social @lynfox@aus.social I suppose it's a bunch of deep-pocket broligarchs that donated, in small amounts and under fake names to look like there are many of them, but I'm still not optimist. Some of the donations are likely organic
