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.

I'm confused. Why is this not allowed? Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty?

Huh? Isn't he entitled to the best defence he can get?

Innocent until proven guilty, remember.

The consistent creation of fundraising pages of Mangione follows the macabre reaction much of the public has had to the assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

More like the perfectly reasonable reaction.

This guy doesn't need a GoFundMe.

He could start an Only Fans where he talked about his ideas with his shirt off and he'd be set for life, or at least until Nintendo sued him off the Internet.

During the Great Depression, people were so angry at banks that they rooted for bank robbers. Things are so bad now that we're just straight up rooting for cold-blooded executions. Censoring people's online activities won't make this anger go away. The genies out of the bottle now, and if billionaires don't want any more dead CEOs, there will need to be fundamental, radical changes to our society.

Did they allow Rittenhouse to use GoFundMe?

Surely, Luigi is innocent until proven guilty too.

One might also want to consider the possibility that this is not the shooter or he is a patsy. Not that you shouldn't support them in any of these cases. Just be aware as this [word like shitshow but that doesn't do it justice] develops.

What's crazy is that Trump and vance could read the room and drastically change the US forever by using the hate that people have for insurance companies to dismantle their influence.

But instead these crooks are going to enrich themselves and leave office (maybe) dismantling and hurting the people that voted them into office. As bad as 2016-2020 was, I think it'll pail in comparison to how bad things will get. If you aren't putting money away towards your 401k, do it now. Because rebuilding healthcare, housing, education, and other crucial regulatory functions of the government is going to take a long time. Especially if we lose any liberal USSC judges. It will be harrowing for the poor and middle class. More so if you are a person of color, lgbtq, or any ethnic minority.

This situation has me pondering 2 hypotheticals.

1. How long until people start posting the names of individuals perceived as traitors (eg the McSnitch, the journalists shilling for Thomson, the politicians leading the charge against Mangione, etc)?

2. Can he realistically be tried at all? A broad cross section of people are really supportive of Mangione. We're in such a weird timeline that I could potentially imagine groups like Black Block and Proud Boys standing side-by-side on this one.

They let the guy who leaked Trump’s tax returns hold a gofundme, but folks didn’t really help him out as much as he needed.

Any idea how we can add to his canteen fund?

They're fucking terrified. The reaction of the public to this assassination has shocked them. They understand that they need to crush this guy and they need to crush the swell of public support or this is the end of unfettered capitalism. When the few have everything and the many have nothing the many rise up and take back everything and the cycle starts again. Every single dollar in every rich guy's bank account came from the hard work of non-rich people. There are thousands of them and hundreds of millions of us. We can just rise up and take what they have. They have to stop this before it builds and before the majority realize that we can do it.

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.

TBH a lot of them are probably fake and never would have given any money to Luigi.

This seems hypocritical to me, but also I would caution against anyone supporting a GoFundMe or any crowdfunding with a high profile persons name on it because I wouldn't trust the organizer to just take the money and run.
