Have seen a lot of punching right over the last year and noticed it lately aimed at @TexasVet (Sean Sweat). Whatever problems one may have with him there are much more worthy targets. Some are treating him with the kind of venom typically reserved for people that steal valor. My dad never deployed to Korea but he most certainly is a veteran and is one of the most patriotic men I've ever met and nobody has ever accused him of not being a veteran just because he didn't deploy- soldiers don't usually have a huge say in what the military does with them.
As far as Sean's GoFundMe- yes, people were generous towards him and it reminds me of before I was married and had changed jobs, just moved, and wasn't making great money at the time. Had to go to my brother for money and fortunately, he lent me a nice pistol for a few months until I got on my feet. Where I'm from having a weapon to defend yourself is considered essential. So yes, his GoFundMe received more money than I'm sure he expected but as far as I'm concerned once you give someone a gift it's then their's to do with as they see fit and personally, I don't mind that men like Sean are armed- especially seeing that we're on the brink of Civil War. An armed man like Sean may very well end up saving a fellow patriot one day.
For those that claim he's not done anything for the right, I'd like to offer another point of view. Sean has done a great deal to connect fellow patriots. May not seem like much to some of you but I'm watching IRT the fruit of some of these friendships grow and they're doing really positive work to help counter all the anti-white bashing out there these days.
Lastly and most importantly, I've been attacked very heavily on this site in the past and it's not fun or easy. It began when I started v/TraditionalWives and lasted around 8 months. The abuse was constant and relentless and there were times when I felt like it was all too much trouble and that maybe the message of traditional values wasn't wanted or needed. @TexasVet was one of the goats that would send me encouraging PMs to keep going and to not give up. His and the kind gestures of others is what kept me going. My mother always taught me not to turn my back on a friend and @TexasVet has most certainly been a friend to me.
TLDR: Nobody is perfect and we all have faults. Maybe we can find fault with people that quite literally want us dead instead?

I have seen your name around , no idea about that Texas guy .
If i understand that correctly you were heavily abused while receiving 0.4 downvotes per post and when most of your submissions are in two subs with a total of 2500 users . Also i suspect that after being here for three years you know how to use the block button . According to your post the Texas guy (for who i have nothing against) should not be criticized (although you call him a goat meaning that he knows VOAT culture) because he is a great patriot or something . I just saw one of his post claiming "online abuse" and "legal action" .....
Seriously VOAT is a free speech medium and everyone who has been here long enough has experienced what you describe as "harassment" . I am sure as an adult you understand what i am saying.
