"I grew up working class- but like most Chinese at least warm and fed. I used to think "I'd never steal, stealing is always wrong". Then I visited [Southeast] Asia and saw the street children, some sick and hurt- and all I could think was "If that was my kid damn right I'd steal food and medicine in a heartbeat".

Sure, most of you have the luxury of living someplace you will never have to make this choice- no one's going to knock on your door. So you smugly deride my course of action because to you, in your sheltered, limited world- doxxing really is one of the worse things you can think of, and with that bubble wrap of Western civilization around you- you're right, you'd never be in my position so you would never have to make that choice.

I begged[...] they ignored me. [...] I had no recourse and they knew it, they[...] got what they wanted, [broke their agreement] and waved me away when I told them over and over to please listen to me or anyone else what the risk was.

Sure, I get it. The absolute worst thing you can think of is some White tech-bro having to answer an email from a woman in a developing country that he has been ignoring and deliberately put in danger or have an address visible for 5 seconds on a shoe.

It must be really, really nice to have such a spectacular degree of privilege [that] that is your worse case scenario- I'm not that lucky.

You will never doxx someone, and I'm probably never going to have to steal food.

Because we each won our respective birth lotteries- but I at least know I got lucky.

You think the whole world lives like you."
