The answer to this question will decide whether I will continue with my current org. We have a couple hundred volunteers reporting to a lead that is paid an undisclosed amount from an undisclosed source

I have no proof but I think DSA is, you know, compromised by stupidity at the higher levels. There are some good rank and file members, like in every organization, but I think their energy is ultimately diverted into nothing. I'd trust your similar instinct and avoid.

Now that I’m thinking back to this post, I might’ve completely misrepresented my position

In this non-DSA org, all of us have full time jobs aside from a few select people in the org and we don’t know how the fuck they’re doing this as a full time job.

Maybe that better illustrates the fuckery
