Nah we hitting a quarter million the second one of the defendants has an online spergout and solicits donations of their own. A lot of us who donated will double dip the second we see the pain inflicted on them.
I second this notion.
Once my debts are paid off, and I’m expecting all but one to be paid in full in the next 6 months. I’ll be more than happy to set aside more money if the need arises. (Probably money order this time tbh)
I encourage everyone to do the same.
I’m pretty confident that if we show these lying shitheads any weakness, or apathy, they will pretty much have free range to do with what they want, how they want in future court cases. The buck stops here imo.
I voted for the fund, and I donated. I say here I’ll happily give again and I’ll be more than happy to keep my word/action ratio a 1:1 (2:2, 3:3, etc.).
What do we have that other sites don’t have?
- Our administrator/Ooperator is not morally bankrupt.
- The user base isn’t a bunch of broke teenagers.
- Our enemies are really fuckin retarded/unstable.
- Proven resilience, not just our dear erverlord but the community itself.
- THE SITE IS LEGAL
- Real women™ (allegedly)
These very same efforts to silence have been used several times in high visibility cases, as with 8chan and Stormfront (not a huge loss to me personally but that’s not the point, it was a loss). In those instances there were severe issues, and even in the case of Stormfront, he’s too fuckin crazy for any of his loser readers to support any, or even the possibility of legal litigation. And 8chan is a bunch of edge lords with no money/ethics. (Not all but generally speaking). Among other issues.
Free speech, and freedom of expression is what made the U.S. great in the first place, and this site is an excellent example of what can be achieved when people are allowed to speak on what they want, how they want, free of external pressure, fear of censorship, free of agenda; and again, completely legal.
If you have the means, and you like what the site does, if you don’t support this nigga, you ain’t gonna find another option. You aren’t going to find a better alternative to throw money at, it doesn’t exist. Josh is so autistic he’s been willing to live on next to nothing, working long hours, for a long ass time just to spite those who told him no.
Fortunately he’s most definitely doing something worthwhile, he knows it, we know it, and he’s proven himself time and time again. It’s become more than a gossip site, it’s become a gossip site that exposes true evil and silly funny haha cow-exploits at the same time. (What’s not to love?)
Sorry for going on, but this shit gets me fired up.
TL;DR: to capitulate is to compromise (no take backs)
