GiveSendGo: Crowdfunding Hate in the Name of Christ -- The Nation
Oops, how did this get here . . .
editors note: Contribute at your own risk, I did not extensively research the legitimacy of the fund and there may be some doubt as to where the money is destined
The fucking dumbass media will stay surprised by how people feel about this, and the working class people among them will feign shock for the cameras. But the reality is that CEOs have been screwing everyone else in the country raw dog for fucking decades, and nobody that works for a living and has lived in this country for a while is truly shocked by the support for Luigi.
I mean hell, to end last season of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Dennis had a daydream where he ripped a CEO's heart out to reduce his blood pressure.
Do you think the mainstream media is truly surprised at people's reactions or is it simply acting surprised to behave in line with a dog and pony show about how the UHC CEO was the real working class hero and The Adjuster was evil and/or a lunatic that we should all despise?
I think it's a mixture. I've quit watching news coverage on TV completely at this point, but I do still watch some more mainstream comedy shows (e.g. SNL, Colbert, After Midnight, etc). SNL's latest episode illustrated this disconnect, especially with the opening sketch (a Nancy Grace impersonation basically saying "what's wrong with people for liking the killer?") and Chris Rock's opening monologue. Rock started by talking seemingly sincerely about the CEO and how it must be terrible for his family, etc. and then said "Sometimes drug dealers get shot" or something similar.
There's also a comedy narrative that is being established that I think is kind of mainstream media types coping with the reaction to the killing, which is that they're saying "he's only supported because he's handsome"....but I really think they are out of the loop and many are truly surprised and/or still don't understand the public's reaction.
Surprised it's so little
Well, they're not making it easy to find and it's being funded by angry poor people. There's probably not a lot of wealthy big donors on this one.
The fundraiser looks super sketchy and we don't even know who is running it, so a lot of people probably don't trust it.
I'd donate but don't want to support GiveSendGo and also don't trust that the money will actually end up anywhere good.
He already hired an expensive lawyer on his own, and that lawyer hasn’t said anything about using the Mooney from this fund. It’s most likely a scam.
based he needs all the help he can get!
$139k now.
That will pay for like an hour. The dude is screwed.
That's why someone needs to run for governor on NY on the platform of giving him a full pardon. They would win in a landslide.
Rich boy from a rich family doesn't need our charity. However it is good to see how popular support for him is widespread.
There has been nothing to indicate that he has inherited wealth yet. Aside from schooling.
I have seen snippets in the news saying that his family has disavowed him and cut him off so he effectively no longer comes from a rich family unless they change their minds.
The family doesn't know how a true hero looks like
Yet another example of
Economic class > every other claimed solidarity, including familial.
You're an owner class sociopath first, and everything else second.
It's why they try so hard to impress on the classes they subjugate that they're all just temporarily embarrassed millionaires and billionaires, stops the poors from becoming a threat, and invites wannabe turncoats to undermine any class movement in exchange for a pittance, if anything at all, fucking suckers.
Worked wonders on the McDonald's snitch, a good beaten dog, didnt even get the milkbone they were snitching for in writing, so they undermined themselves and their class in exchange for literally nothing at all. The system is working exactly as intended.
He comes from a rich family. And even if they refuse to pay for his defense, let the privileged brat experience a public defender for once. Jeez.
I cannot help but think this is a bot account trying to discredit Luigi for reasons.
- created 7 days ago (few days after CEO being Luigified): ✅
- has lemm.ee as instance: ✅
- suspiciously active: ✅
- trying to balance comments with "off-topic" stuff to feel more genuine: ✅
Agreed. His history is smelly
He betrayed his class. He's one of us now.
Steps:
-
Chain every health insurance CEO together in a big long line.
-
Attach chain to a giant multi-ton boulder.
-
Throw boulder into the ocean.
The only loss to humanity will be the value of the steel in the chains.
