"We are raising funds to support a critical legal defense in the fight against unchecked corporate power and a system that continues to favor the few over everyone else. This case isn't just about one individual—it's about challenging a status quo that protects the interest of the powerful at the expense of justice and fairness," read one of the fundraising pages that was quickly removed by GoFundMe.

Absolutely a double standard but an easy to imagine one. I was just thinking how the right used GoFundMe for that racist prick Rittenhouse (among others).

Can we just have our class warfare already? It's ok to kill black folks not heaven forbid you actually eat the rich.

What's most ironic to me is that gofundme is often used by those who have been denied insurance coverage to get help to pay for medical treatment. I guess at this point they're just dipping into the "please support the salt party, as slugs for salt, that's where we want our money to go."

The US healthcare system being fucked is literally GoFundMe's sole business case.

Don't eat the rich, that's inefficient (and unappetizing, as the vast majority are a majority of plastic, etc.) Use them as fertilizer and feed the world. 🤌🏼 Get that polymer-eating mycelium, and we're really cookin' without a fossil-fueled doom, eh?

Don't eat the rich, they're full of parasites

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 week ago

Don't eat the rich, they're ~~full of~~ parasites

Though, that's needlessly unkind to parasites in general. 🤷🏽‍♂️

That's gold that doesn't need to be mined.

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Stoned me can often be quite clever, and thank you. 🙇🏽‍♂️🖖🏽

[–] Chakravanti@monero.town 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Stoned isn't education and that was clearly the content of the latter.

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Sorry, I'm not sure I follow. "Stoned isn't education"?

Well if it's Durban Poison or some derivative hybrid then you may be drawn to what TO pay attention to but your use seems to attribute the sort of Indica being in play which basically just deteriorates any you may have left right off the bat.

You're of intuitive understanding and being stoned doesn't attribute to one's ability in such. Not that you aren't rather that you are so well knowledge of the matter that even if such were, you can, as you seem to have called, are so well knowing that even that is unable to tear from the wells of your immediate comprehension .

It was quite the attempt to complement in a sense of despite your own claim.

Thank you for the compliment and the word salad? 😅🤓

[–] Chakravanti@monero.town 1 points 1 week ago

Is it still a salad if it got so much in it that it needs a spoon instead if a fork and the leaf is spinach not lettuce?

There is a lesson in there... Learn it
