quote:

Charitable Humans, self-described on LinkedIn as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization “dedicated to changing the world for the betterment of all living beings on planet Earth” has deleted its social media accounts after stating it would not help “any red state.”


Tweeted that any red state should be incinerated and should clean up their own mess.

Good. Let these people keep outing themselves and how they really feel.

That's good to know that the whole organization doesn't feel that way. It doesn't take much to become 501c(3) certified.

I also think organizations need to do a much better job vetting out their social media handlers. Far too often we see someone going rogue and the organization has to go into apology mode when they get called out.

They're only horrified at the reaction the social media posts received. It's mighty convenient to blame it on a rogue employee after the backlash they received

It sucks their social media person went off like that, but at least they apologized.

It does, but now people know that these charities have that kind of person in their ranks. Not good.

I agree. It's a solid response.

But damn people. How the frick does your social media coordinator come to the conclusion that this might even slightly be OK?

I mean. We have to admit. The social media coordinator clearly had some feel for the organization they worked for. That feel seems to have gone over the line........but, I doubt it fell out of the sky either.

Looking at the timeline, the apology story also holds water.

I wondered when I saw the apology and thought, "well frick people, how did you allow that follow up tweet to happen".

But, there's only like 20 minutes of stupidity there. I suspect that's all it took for someone to fire the idiot.

From their "apology":

Look at you, the venerable piece of Antifa shite dujour....defending more prog filth

let's look at their bullshite "apology"

quote:

We take full responsibility for this outrageous lack of leadership, for which there is no excuse, though there is an explanation we’d like to put forward in the interest of transparency. We are not a large organization, and we’ve invested much time and sacrifice trying to undertake an endeavor that is much greater than we have the resources or team members to focus on at the capacity needed.


So you're small, and hire people you know...but didnt know this had occurred?

Oh yeah, did they fire the piece of shite? NO? WONDER WHY....

Oh, and guess what..............NOW THEYRE THE VICTIM!!!

quote:

t’s rather ironic that, in the same irrational generalization that denounced an entire sect of people, rightly offending a great many, the response by many has been to also measure the sum totality of our organization by its tweets. I point this out not as an excuse, but to highlight how divisive and impractical it is to achieve anything productive when groups take precedence over human individualism.



You are just a apiece of shite, Salmon.

Now now.

Let's not remove context.

I love to beat the shite out of vile liberals as much as the next guy, but the part you quoted doesn't stand alone.

It does to me too, but wtf is this?
quote:


We don’t condone the denouncement or imperilment of any human, individual or group; ultimately because that serves no useful purpose and is rather an impairment to progressive change. Our views extend equally toward those that do good and evil in the world, for both have much to teach us about the state of humanity. We’re not for a moment implying that the targets in which the Tweets offensive content are either good, bad, or otherwise because we don’t believe those words are more than labels based upon an individual’s perception of another. Our organization views people for what they are: humans. Everything else is merely a means by which to divide us into opposing factions.


And about this:
quote:

As an organization, we’re doing everything in our ability to make our official position known and remove all content espousing such hateful, insensitive, and offensive viewpoints. Beyond that, what people choose to believe about our organization despite our efforts are up to them. If the actions of one individual give cause for others to condemn the whole our organization, the work we’ve done, and what we have the potential to do in the future; no response or remedy is going to matter.

What’s becoming obvious is that the risky proposition of continuing any endeavor, charitable or otherwise, in an environment where perfection is expected without a single misstep, is tenuous indeed. No good or progress within society is attainable wherein forgiveness is not attainable. It saddens me that there are people who will allow a single bad act to negate more than a decade of positive impact and humanitarian accomplishments, but nonetheless, we respect peoples’ right to form their own code of conduct and worldview.


Conservatives have had to deal with this for a long time.
