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 think what makes me uneasy about this org is that not only does no one have no idea how much people above are being paid, we have no idea who is paying them to begin with. And they refuse to say
Definitely getting paid by democrats and FBI front organizations. I can see why they want to lie and keep getting a paycheck from their members, but not even saying where it’s coming from? The only alternative I can think of is that some CPC agent or North Korean agent is funneling money to them, which would be kind of funny. Not trying to fan paranoia, but not disclosing the source is really fucking weird.
nah, the only people who get paid do so from dues. those staffers are liberal NGO types and they keep the rest of the org from turning further left. it doesn’t require any external meddling to keep it in line.
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
This is incredibly shady to me. I would make a stink or leave depending on what you feel safe doing. Especially if you are a dues paying organization, it should be very clear where money comes from and goes.
