Okay, this rant has been building all day. If ya'll haven't seen my earlier post, you probably don't know how hard I've been trying to not reach this point.

Have a picture.

Need a better one?

One that gives the full extent of why I'm so fucking mad?

And the thing is, those to images? The thing is, I'm not even sure if they are from some OTHER Cholera Outbreaks in Africa or from just Yemen. These pictures are dated Nov. 28, 2017.

But this, this picture is recent dealing with starvation.

1.7 million children in Yemen are suffering from malnutrition.

That is just the problem in Yemen. There are millions of cases of this around the world.

Now. Where am I going with this?

Apparently an affluent white male in the white fucking privilege nation of the U.S. needs our help.

Our help.

You know, the same kind of person that would tell anyone else to pull up their fucking bootstraps if they were in financial need.

And apparently, people are rich enough to give to both charities!

This isn't a charity case.

I'm not even touching the fact that most Go Fund Mes are for medical payments.

If you have a thing for just helping Americans (because obviously you are tribalistic enough to give to a man just because you hate the person that fired him), there are plenty of Americans in need.

So, with your self-righteous anger against a man who is not the problem but a symptom of the problem, you hand away your hard-earned money to another.

He will not have to worry about bombs, gunfire, disease or starvation. He will not have to lay awake at night, afraid.

In a world where he will likely be paid more than double what he was earning as a government worker (one of high position there, mind you) as a security consultant or some other form of employee in the private sector.

But he does need help with those legal fees! So do help!

But no, that makes me condescending to say this. To tell you how to waste your money.

Well, I'll be fucking condescending because you obviously feel superior enough to think you are actually doing good by helping a mother-fucking rich person. What the fuck is wrong with you?!

Any money given to him will either be pocketed by him or whoever he hires as a lawyer. And SOMEHOW this makes it fine, because, well, Trump fired him.

And the worst thing about this is that these people think they are doing good.

That this will help a WHITE RICH MAN in a legal system already FAVORS those three things. In a two tiered justice system where people who fucking ruined the world's economy AND GOT AWAY WITH IT!

So, spare me your fake outrage at the fact that I decided to post pictures from Yemen to many people who RT that Fund Me.

And don't make the fucking excuse about it is just Trump.

This has been happening for years. WHY DON'T I PULL UP SUDAN? Still happening, started in 2013.

Congo, 2005.

So.

If you have to chose between actually saving someone's life or paying for someone's legal fees, and you chose the latter.

You aren't being a savior. You are just promoting the idea that rich American white males deserve to be treated with more humanity. That is monstrous.

Not doing chapter tonight because we are dealing with an actual fucking grifter and people defending him. Been doing it all day because I decided to not play sidelines to this.
