Why eat the rich when you can recruit them, instead?@acdw lots of data shows that people with less money are far more generous than the wealthy, which is the opposite of the way it should be.

Why eat the rich when you can recruit them, instead?@acdw but can we really TRUST these people with OUR MONEY?!

with respect, "Imposter" is STILL the wrong spelling."Both impostor and imposter mean a person who deceives others by pretending to be someone else, but impostor is the more traditional spelling. 'Imposter' is a common alternative spelling that has been used for centuries and is widely accepted."
The reason this happened in a nutshell is The Internet. We got a blend. And that's OK. Language can evolve. It should evolve.
BUT IT'S FUCKING "IMPOSTOR" FOR THE RECORD. And yes, I will die on this hill because who wants to live forever, anyway, unless you're Peter Theil.. and and you see where that goes. Blood boys.

The world is a lot right now.and if you want to know who I learned this from, it was everyone I met on the Sojourn Project immersive multi-state civil rights classrom immersion program along with my son Henry. They had every reason to hate based on the horrific things that we -- WE -- did to them. But there was no hate in them. I was like "how is this even possible".. but they showed me it was. If you can support Sojurn, please, I beg you, you absolutely should. If you want new AOCs, younger Bernies, more Mamdanis.. THIS is how we create them: https://www.sojournproject.org

The world is a lot right now.The world is a lot right now. But we all gotta fight for love. Because the path of hate is so simple, so easy, so seductive.. black vs. white.. us vs. them.. you're either on our team, or you are our sworn enemy.. whereas the path of love is far, far more complicated and difficult.
But love is the only survivable path.
Hating someone is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die. It’s only a matter of time before that hatred eats you -- and everyone else around you -- from within.
Choose love. Come with us if you want to truly live. 💛
