minus-squareTTH4P@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down10·edit-22 天前Ok, let me engage you on this. If it’s a good deed performed with blood money, or with money earned on the backs of a genocide, or with money earned by ripping thousands of families off over and over for a long time, is it a good deed?

Agree to disagree, old man.
