Jack Dorsey gave $10 million to an anonymous founder with a deep devotion to a fascist 'guru'www.businessinsider.com Twitter's cofounder Jack Dorsey personally gave $245,000 in crypto to a developer who's a follower and student of a well-known Brazilian fascist.

wow if Jack had known that he'd have given him a million

Surprise surprise Mr Free Speech isn't a very deep thinker

Either he really is the definition of more money than sense, or he's a big fat liar & he absolutely knew the kind of guy he was funding but is self aware enough to at least try to pretend he didn't know so he keeps his liberal cred.

both (& a billionaire with "liberal cred" (!!) is no less a n*zi)

We all know that but it benefits him to convince the gullible that he's an enlightened centrist rather than a scary nazi who is harder to defend.

What liberal cred?

Like I've said already it benefits him to pretend to be an enlightened centrist so that he doesn't frighten the neolib horses.

Jack please give me $10,000,000 I’m also stupid

Honestly, though, who hasn’t done that? It’s a pretty common thing to do, you know, not vet people you give a year’s salary to

oops

Great job on Search Engine BTW

Ty!!

I would take $10m and work magic with it for so many people in need. If I have to pretend it's for an app, I could probably make up some bullshit. Who's in?

Who among us hasn't accidentally donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to fascists?

Are we *sure* he didn’t know 🙄

Aside from the fash angle, how completely cooked do you have to be in order to invest in a startup where you don't know the identity of the principals???

I don't think you can ever separate the "anarchocapitalist" from the fash angle.

Investing in a startup where you don't know the principals isn't anarcho-capitalist... it's just fucking dumb.

Dorsey is an Ancap, the people who make these sites are ancaps, and supporting people of your ideology isn't "dumb", he's a billionaire who can lose money to support his pet causes.

If you don't know who the people on the other side of the transaction are, then you're probably supporting their local sex workers and drug dealers rather than your target cause.

idgaf about that economy, it's that Dorsey loves reactionary techbro cryptobro cryptofash shit

nostr isn't exactly a startup

More like Nazstr

I thought these guys were supposed to be galaxy-brained geniuses🤦‍♂️

Uh huh

Careful now, let's not throw stones. Who among us hasn't given 10 million dollars to an Internet rando without doing any vetting and due diligence?

Jack eats cat turds

Jack Dorsey is really not a smart guy.

For those who bounced off the paywall, the Brazilian right-wing conspiracy theorist is this guy: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olavo_d...

Olavo de Carvalho - Wikipediaen.wikipedia.org

He (Dorsey) looks stupid?

KYC is for suckers

Yikes on Bikes.

Knowing Dorsey's right-wing core, would it have lessened his investment any?

Jack is shit just like Elon ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
