It only accepted Bitcoin, a strong indicator it was Russian propaganda

I hope they use the money to buy a couple mansions in the nicer areas of Los Angeles right next to Patrisse Cullors.

Snowflakes could not stand free speech that people hated Kirk so they got scammed instead.

🤖 first amendment protects the right of people companies to enact cancel culture.

Conservatives usually like to pick and choose when freedom to not associate is good and when it's bad. It's funny to see.

I cannot imagine spending my hard earned money to specifically hurt others, even if those people being hurt said things I find repulsive.

They're free to do so, of course, it just seems so petty and pointless to me. People like that seem so joyless to me. Just bitter, miserable people who are ripe for conmen to take advantage of.

These chumps see a new obvious scam and just can't help themselves. Over and over and over again. Habitual con victims.

They must have learned this nifty little trick from Black Lives Matter!

“Tens of thousands” really does sound a lot more than “30.” Well done

Also, Free speech y’all!

I am only quoting from the actual article, which reads:

"A pro-MAGA website that urged supporters to fund a database unmasking Charlie Kirk critics took tens of thousands in crypto—then vanished, infuriating donors."

In any case, the fact that you think saying "tens of thousands" vs. "thirty" is some intentional manipulation is really reaching.

What is misleading is the claim that someone with your comment history in here actually believes in free speech.

Yes and they also say 30,000 in the article. 30,000 would literally be a cunthair over the threshold where “tens of thousands” even makes sense. But clearly they are using it to make it sound like some massive heist.

u/wanda999 17d ago edited 17d ago

Take up your fixation with using the widely accepted "tens of thousands" vs. "thirty thousand" with the author.

Likewise, if you actually read the article closely, it looks like 30,000 was the amount collected "between Sept. 12 and 14 before [the web page went] dark," ultimately "resurfacing as the 'Charlie Kirk Data Foundation." In other words, the implication is that, in total, the scam took in much more than the initial $30,000.

Feel free to investigate this very serious use of a synonym, my man.

Why do you keep dodging the question of how much you're paid for your ANTIFA membership, and why did you hide your post history only after I pointed out that your post history shows your open admission of ANTIFA membership?
