Nah removed; root owns me.

Wait, this isnt just a pic of J. D. Vance?

Wealthy American conservatives and Russian oligarchs previously spent the bulk of the money on anti-gender advocacy in Europe. Today, 73% of the overall cash pot comes from EU donors, with Hungary, France, and Poland standing out as the countries with the largest funders.

Hungary — a country whose prime minister, Viktor Orbán, has styled himself as a defender of Western Christian civilisation — has been at the forefront of that effort.

“If you dig enough, you can find that they [conservative entities] are all funded by some Hungarian state entity of some sort,” Datta, the author of the EPF report, said.

Overall, the European donor base spans a heterogenous alliance of moneyed aristocrats, ultra-conservative tech entrepreneurs, and ideologically aligned businesses. Alongside private donors, the report uncovered that a critical amount of money — at least $171 million or 14% of the total amount — stems from EU public funding.

When it comes to public funding, the political patronage model outlined by Datta showed that not only governments, but also the EU itself has systematically channelled cash to anti-gender groups disguised as youth organisations via its Erasmus programme — including the World Youth Alliance (WYA), a Catholic NGO that lobbies against abortion in family planning, since 2009.

So here’s the targets:

Moneyed aristocrats, ultra-conservative tech entrepreneurs, and ideologically aligned businesses.

The question we have to ask here, if we want to help, is how can we subvert and counteract their efforts.

I want to add before I continue that these are just some kernels of ideas. I’m not a specialist in all these areas. And I’d hope that others could take some of these ideas and bring their own skills ans input. I dont expect everyone reading this to have the ability to do all of these things; but I think its a fair assumption that collectively, with he enough people who give a shit about this cause, we can actually make some difference by working together.

Bring Money to the Cause

Obviously you can donate to groups that fight to promote LGBTQ rights, and particularly trans rights. But I doubt you’re all that wealthy.

I think its pretty obvious looking at the targets, that they’re not all that ideologically motivated, but rather, monetarily motivated. So if we want to counteract this, we need to draw more wealthy monitarily motivated people to the trans cause.

I appreciate that this is deeply cynical. But frankly, the people who are suffering because of this need actual help, not principles.

Syphon Money from the Anti-Trans Cause

It occurs to me that when you have this much money pouring into a movement, then there’s the oppurtunity for exploitation.

• Set up fake anti-trans groups. Seek funding. Funnel the funding back to the trans cause.
• Set up fake anti-trans sites and promote them. Take the donations, funnel them back to the trans cause.
• Look for exploitations in current anti-trans sites and attack them.

  DDoSing to bring the site down. XSRF to get the database and identify the doners. XSS to trick doners into giving us money. There are people who know a lot more about this shit than me. And guess what, you can pay them to do this.

Attack the Source

Looking at the figures, we can see that the majority of money here comes from Hungary. So, how can hurt these people?

I’m not familiar enough with the current political situation in Hungary (aside from Orban). But I assume there is an opposition.

Can we get money to mainstream and extremist opposition factions? I’ll leave this one for someone who knows more about it than me.

I mean some people might be into that.

Ideally in real life you’d use guns and bombs instead of showing them a tattoo.

Do we know how the age verification process is gonna work or is this gonna be one of those neoliberal dystopian spystate kinda deals where the means of data collection is left to corporations only to be subsequently tapped by the state when the want to target individuals?

Absolutely. Super easy to use this in blackmail. Especially in a country as repressed as the UK.

“This is not a plastic problem, but a waste management failure. It is the failure of plastic waste management that leads to pollution, not the material itself,” said Segun Ajayi-Kadir, Director General of MAN.

Absolutely.

Northern Irish Civil Rights movement had the IRA. Women’s Suffrage had the Suffregetes

All of these movements allowed the peaceful side to present the same terms:

‘You deal with me or you deal with the other guy.’

Tangential Question: Is Sailor Moon manga worth reading as an adult?

Police are the mechanism of state violence. They are inherently bad - as an institution.

Whether a politician is bad depends on their policies.

Wow, I’ve never seen the Cherokee language in written form. It’s beautiful!

Is this sheep real and where can I find more pictures?

I would also like to add another perspective.

I think its important to bear in mind that there are plenty of examples of animal rights and environmental organisations that have been the target of harrasment campaigns bankrolled by corporate and political interests.

I’m not suggesting this is what happened here. I think we have to scrutinize any possible conspiracy – I really want to make that clear. If you look through the other comments, there’s a lot to delve through here.

But I would suggest bearing in mind that smear campaigns aimed at cultivating a kind of political nihilism is something that does happen.

The best you can do, if you care about these causes, is to continue to support them in whatever ways you can.

In my opinion, all animals deserve a hell of a lot better than this.

No step on snek 😔

I mean, Louisiana’s best governor was the Kingfisher in my opinion and that guy was corrupt as fuck.

If there’s a state that should really Thank God for Mississippi, it’s Louisiana.

Wdym? ICE is a terrorists cell.

Terrorism is the collective use of violence to achieve social and political aims.

State mandated violence should not be treated as ‘special’. This obviously applies if you’re a based anarchist. It also applies if you’re liberal.¹ Since state mandated violence trampling the rights of individuals should be something you’re opposed to if you’re in any way ideologically consistent

Therefore ICE are terrorists. And they’re not the cool kind either.

Fair. My cousin has a fear of moths. He once described encountering a moth at night:

“I could hear him, out in the hall, his whings beating. whooosh whoosh. I held my blanket tight, and waited for him to pass. And that’s when the door swung open. CRASH I looked up from under the covers and screamed. AAAAAH”

I never did find out how he got rid of that moth.

I hope he didn’t kill it.

Are people seriously out here killing moths?

Bastards.
