Various sorts of long-run confidence tricks like MLMs prey on people by encouraging them to divert money from various semi-necessary luxuries to the confidence trick.
Some of those semi-necessary luxuries include pensions.
With that in mind, I present to you, readers, this toot by a GoI-302 leader, encouraging similar tactics to feed mutual aid fundraisers: https://archive.ph/eAJNd
Now, don't get me wrong, GoI-302's leadership is actually broke and living on a shoestring. Trying to pressure followers to cash out their pensions is unacceptable, however.
