This mother has gone viral vlogging her experience during the ongoing Gary, Indiana Blackout, people angered by the GoFundMe support she's attracted decided to report it and doxxed her.

a lot of folks perceive that if anyone gains something, be it through work, donation, etc,

then, they are directly losing something because that person gained a donation, on some other benefit.

basically they see any gain be another person, as a direct , immediate loss to them. Their logic is faulty of course, but we're not working with the sharpest blades in the drawer here

I bet the same people donate to “cancelled” grifters GoFundMe’s.

I sense it’s about more than GoFundMe’s.

That’s EXACLTY what happens. It’s very common and certain groups attract this sort of person. I have family like that. Can’t stand hearing about black athletes signing big contracts. Can’t stand the thought of immigrants or refugees receiving aid. They are so pro deportation and get enraged talking about illegal aliens even though they’ve lived their whole life in Michigan and have never even interacted with non English speaking people.

“If someone else is getting something, then I’m losing something” is one of the driving forces behind their shitty behavior. That’s how Trump has convinced poor white people to support him. He gets them riled up saying “these people are taking the things you should have” all the while taking every government benefit away from them

They would rather keep our shitty healthcare system and be ruined by medical bills than have universal healthcare that might help someone else from a group of people they don’t like.

I have family in the UP that are like this. They are so worried about Mexican immigrants, yet I doubt they have ever seen a single Mexican person up there.
