“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.
Dont get scammed…
Once you find a proper place, use crypto.
If you don’t know how to do any of this. Stop. Learn. Then come back.
Is this is the stupidest advice I’ve ever seen? Maybe not “drink bleach” bad I suppose but still - this is pretty stupid. Well done I suppose.
that is the part you thought I was talking about when “use crypto” is right there?
lol so when you pull your money out you’re immediately marked by the Feds? Crypto isn’t magic dude, in fact it’s extremely traceable. Only scammers want you to believe it isn’t.
Lemmy: “EAT THE RICH!”
Also Lemmy: “I DEMAND THE RIGHT TO DONATE MONEY TO THE RICH!”

"He attended a private, all-boys high school in Baltimore, called the Gilman School, according to school officials. Mr Mangione was named as the valedictorian, which is usually the student with the highest academic achievements in a class.
He comes from a prominent family in the Baltimore area whose businesses include a country club and nursing homes, according to local media.
He is reportedly the cousin of Republican state lawmaker Nino Mangione."
This is the same mod who said he didn’t support BLM because they sometimes inconvenienced him.
was named as the valedictorian, which is usually the student with the highest academic achievements in a class.
“This guy was the smartest person in school, get him!”
Fuck off.
Edit: Alternatively, “Robin Hood was the best marksmen, get him!”
Robin Hood was also Robin of Loxley, originally a nobleman. It is entirely possible, however unlikely, for people born into money/status to turn out decent.
Keep in mind, everyone, jordanlund is the same guy who said he didn’t like BLM because they sometimes inconvenienced him.
No, I don’t like BLM because they only care about black lives when white cops are the perpetrators.
You have a black kid killed somewhere by gang violence? BLM is suddenly fucking silent.

I mean, last time you said it was because they inconvenienced you on the way to work, but I guess that wasn’t racist enough this time?
His upbringing doesn’t necessarily mean anything with regard to current state. My grandparents were rich and I was homeless. They put my dad and his siblings through uni (though have since disowned one), but I have student loans. Maybe he is still close and has access to all that money, but this feels a bit jump-to-conclusion-y
‘Eat the rich’ because as a class they take everything and give nothing. Cancer. They sow an unfathomable amount of death and suffering in the name of greed.
An individual from a rich family who just gave up his freedom to slay a healthcare equivalent of a tyrant? Yeah that’s not the person ‘eat the rich’ is talking about.
100%. systemic problems != personal problems. It is just bigotry to assume that because somebody was born with or without money that they fit some cookie cutter definition of a rich person or a poor person. Demonize the system, not the people. People can only be praised/blamed for their individual actions.
If he’s actually the guy, money does help with defense fees.
If he’s not actually the guy, money will absolutely help with defense fees.
Edit: If you’re seriously thinking of donating, wait. Ain’t nothing happened yet.
You really think him and his family have anywhere near the amount of money the medical insurance industry has?
He doesn’t.
This is why we have cryptocurrencies
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.
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?
GoFundMe also removed fundraisers for Rittenhouse’s legal defense.
The ban was only lifted after he was acquitted.
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.”
