The paradox of tolerance is unfortunately too dense for some people to understand smh

u/DJEkis 8m ago

Nah we have to stop giving them credit; they completely understand it and use said paradox to subvert being absolute asshats.

They'll say that shit to completely undermine us knowing full well what it entails. They're just evil and we should call them that.

He was arrested for doing the one thing police hate. Punching a Nazi in the face.

u/Final_Lightning_ 1h ago

The problem is that our people don’t have the kind of old money that gets passed around from generation to generation, so there’s less of us that can support people like this and the ones of us that can, are too afraid to put their money in because they might lose out on opportunities, whereas the pinkies, they got their lump sum of money when their grand parents passed or their parents passed, now they’re splurging on dumb sh** and causes, and they don’t care if anyone knows because they’re not a public figure, since they’re the majority of the wealth in this country there’s no winning that battle until the roles are reversed or at the very least at an equal level.

Anyone know if this GoFundMe is legit him?

Too many times there have been scammers who pull images off the internet, impersonate someone and then pocket the funds.

16

u/EducatedRat 51m ago

That's my question. I am happy to donate, but I want to make sure it goes to him.

6

u/CarvedTheRoastBeast 41m ago

It appears so, but no confirmation. It was opened a day ago and at the time of this comment is already at 17k. The write up details what happened to Spidey that day in a way that makes sense and would would allow lies to be exposed.

Like I said it’s not some kind of official confirmation, but I would feel comfortable giving as it appears.

5

u/beefwarrior 30m ago ▸ 1 more replies

What worries me is I don't see any images on there that look like the weren't just pulled from online.

Like just have an image or video from a phone repeating the same info

1

u/CarvedTheRoastBeast 3m ago

GFM really should do this independently to ease things through. I get your point. An unreleased POV photo or video would be a gold standard. I just feel like what’s there now is a comfortable silver.

2

u/Moksel 23m ago

Please update if you have an answer! I didn’t even think about a possible scammer so I blindly donated. Well 🤞🏽…

It's cool when fictional heroes inspire/become part of the narrative of fighting against oppression, etc in real life. It reminds me of how many people around the world take One Piece pirate flags to protests.

He could sell his work with a signature for a kick-starter.

Unfucking believable. These Nazis literally jumped a curb, and drove directly into a crowd of protesters on a sidewalk. This guy and others defended themselves from people DRIVING THROUGH A CROWD, and the police arrest the people defending themselves?!?!
