  • If you, the civilian, donates to a legitimate cause, the billion dollar company won’t be able to claim that donation on their tax deductions.

    If they donate, it’s a zero sum game. Maybe 5 mins in the spotlight for alturism.

    But if you give them the money to donate on your behalf? They don’t spend a cent and are able to get tax deductions for “philanthropy”. It’s the best possible outcome (for the company).







  • What the fuck are you talking about, most Irish don’t dislike the IRA, what kind of brain-dead take is that? The 1916 IRA are heroes, the British were bombarding Dublin. The black and tans were gunning down civilians, and the IRA were fighting back.

    Now, the PIRA was a lot more disliked by the Irish, but after Bloody Sunday feelings became mixed. A lot of folks were vehemently against the PIRA, a lot were in support, but the vast majority just wanted the bloodshed to end.

    Even then, by % of civilian casualties, the PIRA had a 30% civilian casualty rate, which isn’t great. But it’s literally better than some of the loyalist paramilitaries which had OVER 50% CIVILIAN CASUALTY RATES.

    You go to County Clare and yell Tiochfaidh ár lá on a Saturday night and see how ““universally hated”” the RA are.

    And you compare them to ISIS? My god.

    Lmao, that’s a testament to communist Cuba’s success. No other form of government could withstand a US embargo for a year and not collapse. Cuba has withstood for DECADES and has surpassed the US in life expectancy. The buildings are kinda shabby, but homelessness, infant mortality, illiteracy are all LOWER than the US, the richest country in the history of the world.
