    Convincing people to buy a tent for 3k, then shipping them a couple tarps you had some interns throw together is a hell of a grift lmao

      The best part is that it's not even that difficult to make the thing on the left panel.

      If I was a different type of person I would absolutely be grifting right wingers hard. I’m talkin no remorse selling whatever whatever it takes to stroke their ego type shit because these people are literally primed to just give their money away to the dumbest shit I’ve ever seen. The only thing stopping me are those damn morals.

        It's not immoral to fleece bad people who can afford it. Just make sure you're not perpetuating ideas that are gonna get a comrade hurt.

          That’s why I can’t do it, they only buy things that reinforce their ideas, which are harmful as fuck.

            Yeah. I probably could have made some scratch peddling a "covid cure" but undermining the public trust in the vaccines would make me a terrible person. I got too many scruples to take it that far. I could probably sell them some dumbass shirts and feel okay but the real money is all tied up in issues that actually have collateral damage.

            Look, if somebody can convince some New Yorker writer to put their life savings into a shoebox and hand it to a "CIA agent" in an SUV, you can probably come up with something that will keep the damage isolated.
