A Game of Clout Season 2
If you look at Amin’s most used social platforms: twitter and instagram, there is nary a post about BLM.
There is no link to any organizations that strive to help in racial equity. In fact he puts extra focus on businesses that either provide him with free food or incentives.

Based on the optics it’s safe to assume that Amin’s interest is in capital. The capital of businesses he can benefit from.
Let’s talk about And Co.
With all due disrespect I will not be referring to @HellaKev by his name, going forward he is as irrelevant as & Co. since he wanted to posit himself as a figure with a fandom.

I asked this before: what exactly does he do that merits stanning?
Who is you Chiron?
That statement alone tells us that it’s all driven by ego.
Not an altruistic love for the community, not because you care about putting money into infrastructure that will help, but because

You want bragging rights to say “look what I did, look at what you didn’t do, I did this, yay me.”
And that’s as much tweet space as I’m lending to & Co.
Moving on to & Co #2

The self victimization to then glide into the self aggrandizement, to then completely remove herself from the situation. Speaks volumes, the optics again not mathing considering that days prior she wanted to clap back when people were offering legitimate suggestions on how to
help. And while she did apologize she was also very quick to post up
Because of course we must all know that she has a podcast.
The optics point to Amin & Co using a time of distress in the community, to essentially elevate themselves and their meandering platforms to a higher social attention market.
Ego.
Ego.
Let’s talk about the money.
The initial gofundme was for 1000.
$1000 that wasn’t utilized for its original intention which was to clean up a strip of commerce that had already been taken care of by an initial team that donated 12k to various organizations (receipts provided).

Instead of closing the gofundme, Amin & co kept it open for close to a month, garnering close to 50k in donations.
First they were talking to local businesses, yet nothing came out of it.
Next they claimed to work with a BID, the BID then came forward and said, “huh?”

Then, they claimed to contact the DCC, that was proven false.
Now we have a letter, without a letterhead, no notarization, nor signature to corroborate the poorly written note.
And now they want to start a nonprofit/corporation from the donations.

The lack of accountability.
The vague iOS press releases.
The emphasis on capital “activism”.
Do we really have to dig deep in order to peace together what’s happening?

I wanted to be wrong. In fact I was ready to apologize if they did prove me wrong.
But here we are.
