  • I get where you’re coming from, but how would they make money on donations when we live in an economy that promotes free (as in beer) products and people feel theyre entitled to free beer. Our small corner of the world (the FOSS/Federated/Left leaning folks) are willing to make this step, western society as a whole (the target audience of 404media) is not. They demonstrated this when advertising won over premium products in the “free market of ideas”. You’re more than welcome to pirate their work (if your morals allow it, I’m not legally liable for your actions), but do understand that generally, its better to pay-wall a site than to sell ads on your site for the end consumer, and that not everyone is willing to take the risk of having their livelihood be based on the goodwill of others after theyve already gotten the product for free (as in freedom).







  • Do I really have to explain that the cencus is where I got the 340m population from or did you skim read my response and missed the part right after where I said “tried my best to cross check for number of people @ No Kings. I couldn’t find any source that claimed above 5 mil”?


  • I took the numbers from the US cencus and tried my best to cross check for number of people @ No Kings. I couldn’t find any source that claimed above 5 mil. If you want to go by people who voted instead of population, I still have strong doubt’s that out of the 150m who voted, that the 6m at the protests (those of which who COULD vote, remember minors and noncitizens can’t vote.) didnt vote.

  • Demonizing you? I put your argument into perspective. YOU made the comparison, I pointed it out. Thats on you bud.

    If you think I’m “willfully misinterpreting” you, maybe consider what you say before you say it, and consider there are real human beings being affected by the words you use. Consider that, yeah, the country is fucking burning down, and inside that country, there are 100s, maybe thousands of people with pets in domestic violence households, and you just told all those people to shove it because there are bigger issues.
