I am only giving them ~$5 a month, and I know every dollar counts, but a few 100k donations won’t cause the rise of fascism, it will be poor societal conditions and charismatic leaders telling the populace that those issues are caused by minorities.
Yeah, but if everyone says that then it adds up. Just like when so many people don’t vote because their singular vote doesn’t really count, but when a lot of people say that, it adds up. And it’s not like there aren’t alternatives that likely don’t fund fascism, so why use one that I know for sure does, even if indirectly. I can’t punish him, but I can take my few cents a month away from fascism and spend it on a more reputable company that doesn’t keep around a known fascist.
I am not voting for that party after all, and choosing the best software for privacy is worth giving a few dollars to a fascist IMO. Yes, I checked that parties policies, and I disagree with (nearly) all their social policies (Racism AND Secularism!? Gross!), so don’t accuse me of sympathizing with them.
If you don’t see the value in defending fascism, especially in an age where elections are often won by the party with the most money since they can control the media coverage, then I can’t help you. I can’t teach you to empathize with the people who they will murder if in power. I’m one of them, but guessing you’re not.
