Kyle Rittenhouse’s sister Faith is seeking $3,000 on a crowdfunding website in a bid to prevent the eviction of herself and her mother Wendy from their home, citing her “brother’s unwillingness to provide or contribute to our family.”

    Is Kyle Rittenhouse close to his mother and sister? If so then I feel like maybe he should help, as he has to have been profiting off of his new found fame. If not, then who cares? And why is this news? Because otherwise someone shouldn’t be expected to help estranged family members. If his mother was abusive would he be shamed by the press for not helping her?

    There’s always another side to the story. But people always seem quick to hop on a bandwagon that fits their narrative. I left reddit because the toxic community. Seems Lemmy is no different.

    I must be the only guy in the whole damn world who doesn’t immediately judge the decisions someone makes based on surfaces facts. Just hanging out on social media has done a lot to help me better understand why hyper polarization and hyper radical voting is happening in this world.

    This is the part where where I insert the Skinner “It’s the children who are wrong” meme. Mark my words. So long as you contribute to the chaos, the chaos will grow. I’m unsubbing from this toxic “news” community. It’s nothing more than an echo chamber and supermarket tabloid.

      The fundraiser has now received $5,214 out of the $3,000 requested, likely thanks to the exposure from the article (it was sitting at $1,920 at publishing time).

      Schadenfreude, meet Streisand Effect.

    I would bet their not great people. There is probably a reason he grew into the awful person that he is. I would wager those are the same reasons he doesn’t want to help them financially.

    Awwwww, didum’s grooming of a little sociopath backfire? Maybe they can ask the judge who saw him as a son to help out.
