    Right after Project Veritas got subpoenaed by Congress back in, I think, 2015 or 2016, they offered me a well paid position as an interface designer for the website. I had been unemployed for years by that point, and I was extremely desperate for work. I never applied for the job, and I don’t know how on earth they got my my résumé.

    Suffice it to say, I told them to go fuck themselves.

      That should be evidence to them that they are the bad guys. No one tells a job offer to “fuck off” if the company isn’t utterly shit. Even if Meta or Twitter offered me a job I’d probably just use a curt “no” and move on. But, Project Veritas, Heritage Foundation, Palantir? They’d get a “fuck off” for sure.

        Yeah. I’ll interview with anyone who wants it, but for Palantir and Heritage Foundation and others who are actively working to make peoples’ lives worse? They’d get a very Canadian “no, sorry*, I would prefer not”.

        • Canada has like 5 meanings for ‘sorry’, including “I’m saddened you can’t be better than you are.”
