What payment are you talking about? Regardless, as previously mentioned, I'm disabled and on a pension. Protesting this weekend is me putting my money where my mouth is. I'll try and get a photo to post on !onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone so look out for that.
Firstly, do you have any actual proof apart from your word that you've made this donation? Because it's a quite manic, and frankly hard to believe, claim to make.
Secondly, I don't need to boast on the internet when I am able to make donations to causes I believe in (though it's usually to other queer, disabled folks).
Thirdly, it's a bold strategy to boast directly to someone who's clearly in a much more restricted financial situation than you about your disposable income.
I'm not attacking, I just do not appreciate stolen valour around donations and it concerns me when people boast. No I am not able to video call, it's my bedtime hear in the down under.
You don't have to interact with me anymore, but people have a right to be concerned when red flags such as boasting on a very large donation, and not posting public proof appear. I'm happy to be proven wrong, but it was you that made such claims to try and "win" and internet argument.
Well, I wasn't wrong that you don't need to interact with me anymore. I hold no leverage over you that could compel you too. And yet...
