on some level the person ordering the food can afford it and the person stealing it can’t and all that happens is the orderer reports it and gets a duplicate order at no additional cost

and clearly it isn’t impactful at the moment anyways, I will consider it from that POV though

I still can’t comprehend why not just do press releases for the donations as if a big paper wouldn’t eventually find out socialist groups are getting millions from some 100 millionaire guy (regardless of his background) who is also funding dongsheng news sitting in an office in Shanghai with communist office decorations, it just adds to the narrative that something suspicious was going on because they didn’t come out ahead of it
And ultimately making a hexbear comment is just my opinion, I’m not hurting any of these groups in any way by posting my takes on the hexagonal bear lemmy, like “which side are you on” give me a break lmao

AHMEDABAD: Gandhi is not so great, but Hitler is. Welcome to high school education in Narendra Modi’'s Gujarat, where authors of social studies textbooks published by the Gujarat State Board of School Textbooks have found faults with the freedom movement and glorified Fascism and Nazism.
While a Class VIII student is taught ‘‘negative aspects’’ of Gandhi’‘s non-cooperation movement, the Class X social studies textbook has chapters on ‘‘Hitler, the Supremo’’ and ‘‘Internal Achievements of Nazism’’. The Class X book presents a frighteningly uncritical picture of Fascism and Nazism. The strong national pride that both these phenomena generated, the efficiency in the bureaucracy and the administration and other ‘‘achievements’’ are detailed, but pogroms against Jews and atrocities against trade unionists, migrant labourers, and any section of people who did not fit into Mussolini or Hitler’‘s definition of rightful citizen don’'t find any mention." They committed the gruesome and inhuman act of suffocating 60 lakh Jews in gas chambers" is all the book, authored by a panel, mentions of the holocaust. The section on ‘‘Ideology of Nazism’’ reads: “Hitler lent dignity and prestige to the German government within a short time by establishing a strong administrative set up. He created the vast state of Greater Germany. He adopted the policy of opposition towards the Jewish people and advocated the supremacy of the German race. He adopted a new economic policy and brought prosperity to Germany. He began efforts for the eradication of unemployment. He started constructing public buildings, providing irrigation facilities, building railways, roads and production of war materials. He made untiring efforts to make Germany self-reliant within one decade. Hitler discarded the Treaty of Versailles by calling it just ‘‘a piece of paper’’ and stopped paying the war penalty. He instilled the spirit of adventure in the common people”.
A few classes junior, students in Gandhi’‘s home state read that the Bapu really may have been overrated. In the chapter on ‘‘Gandhian Era and National Movement’’, there’'s a section sub-headlined ‘‘The Negative Aspect’’.

I know this is from Adam Johnson and not Chris Hedges, but to go on a news network that Hedges is a prominent member of and not bring up that he does this exact thing, is not very

chilemango [they/them, comrade/them]@hexbear.netto politics@hexbear.net•New Cold War witch hunts: Who gets a free pass as a ‘foreign agent’? - Liberation NewsEnglish3·2 years agoOn one hand the red scare stuff is kind of scary, but on the other hand the fact that they came out with this “new cold war” line just as major orgs were exposed to a wider audience to taking millions of one billionaire’s money is a very convient spin, when your group is the one that got millions from this guy and never publicly acknowledged it until the NYT called you out. And now it’s public that your group magically has way more money than the DSA despire having orders of magnitude less members and then do almost nothing with the money except put out some newsletters and youtube videos.
I have seen zero accountability taken for not being transparent about having a billionaire patron (I know he thinks of himself as a socialist) or sitting on these giant piles of cash they got and doing almost nothing with it. And I have to assume that is because it’s very embaressing and inconvenient to them to have the funding exposed like this.
Obviously AIPAC etc. will never get the same scruitiny, but I’m not overly concerned with the hypocrisy angle, like what doesn’t
do that’s not a hypocracy, there’s no way this wouldn’t have made it main stream eventually and I don’t get why these orgs weren’t more transparent to their members, I would imagine the DSA has never gotten a donation of a million or over before, you would think that would be significant enough to warrant being open about it

Ukraine is also not a signatory but doesnt make them
For context these countries both make them and don’t ban them and both Ukraine and Russia have used them already in this war, Ukraine was probably just running out of their Soviet era stock of them that they inherited from the dissolution
