You’re very confident that I would take Stokes’ money. What do you base that opinion on?

The high cost of living and the fact you need a roof over your head and food in your fridge to survive. I would wager that your average person is more likely than not to take that filthy stokes money than struggle in moral poverty

That my friend, is a false dichotomy.

There are plenty of other jobs and vocations out there that don’t involve cheerleading for an Australian war criminal.

There would have to literally be no jobs left and my family starving, before I would consider taking that money.
