EDIT: Since this post and lots of traction being gained, the fundraiser is now deleted.

I do not know if it was intentional or if it was reported to death but all that I have seen is the same people doing the same thing as always. Sabotaging fundraising and hurting people. I have seen this time and time again. And again, its the same people doing their evil evil thing.

I have worked with many organisations, like @FreeAnons, doing among other things prison support. It is one of the more controversial things I do. Over the years it has become more and more difficult to do this effectively. Money and Anonymous have resulted in scandal after scandal. Trying to collect money to support the the jailed, their loved ones bereft of their bread winner or helping someone after they leave their cells has become extremely difficult.

The reasons for this are many. Chief among them are of course that the world is full of dishonest people who swindle others. Some times monies have been mismanaged other times funding efforts have simply failed because the buthurt or angry trolls try their best to hinder our efforts.

The challenges with doing fund raising has me seriously frustrated and even fuming at times.

Why I am frothing at the mouth right now?

I do not know Anon2World and they certainly do not know me, even if they reportedly think so themselves. I need to say some things after seeing their pained ask for help. Everyone falls on hard times, and there is no shame in asking your sisters and brothers for help.

Right after Anon2World published their funding drive, found here https://www.youcaring.com/anon2world-845401, I had several people pointing out to me that “trolls” where attacking them, just like I have had happen to my causes countless times. It still has me fuming.

A2E is an activist that has worked tirelessly for others for a long time. Those that attacks the downtrodden, persecuted or in pain are the worst kind of people there is and we do not stand up to them often enough.

If you have a few bucks left over this month, I implore you to share a bit of it with A2E and fam. Do it on principle, as a protest against asshats or simply because reading their YouCaring text will simply tell your heart to do so. I certainly will, on my payday, in a few days. I have leaned on my friends these last couple of weeks myself and believe you me, I know how hard it is to ask for help.

Cause or Personal: Final, but very important point.

I have seen fundraising being done to get help to uproot a tree, to get away from their parents or simply for buying weed. Those kind of things of course hurt legit efforts, but I have come to realize that its non of my business. What raised funds are used for is between the donator and the recipient. A personal fund drive is nothing I or anyone can criticize unless ofc it is dishonest or criminal.

When funding becomes directed at a cause run by legit organisations the rules becomes different and transparency, auditing and “peer review” becomes necessary. I want you to keep an eye on what I do, question things and demand transparency — but I wont let you destroy legit causes because you have some kind of perverse problem with brothers helping brothers.

I will continue to heavily object and react when someone attacks funding of any kind, be it personal or for a cause. I beg of you to do the same. Stand up and be the good force against the asshats of the world. They are in need of a proper spanking and public shaming every now and then

Good luck with everything A2E. I wish you all the luck in the world from the bottom of my heart, and I am sure everyone you have helped thinks the same as me.

One more time, just because: https://www.youcaring.com/anon2world-845401
