It seems like almost every non corporate org has been misdirected in to harmful social justice work. Wikipedia spending 98% of their budget on non Wikipedia related expenses for example. Mozilla working on censorship and deplatforming efforts, even the Tor project feels compromised.

Pretty much the only org that still has its original goals in tact seems to be the EFF. I’d be happy to donate to Wikipedia again if they actually spent the money on their tech. I don’t care if they want to rewrite the whole site in Rust, it’s better than spending it on non tech rubbish.



We're watching the birth and growth of a new religion. Similar patterns happened during the start of Christianity in Rome and Islam in North Africa. Institutions repurposed, language was repurposed and edited, exponential growth of ideologically possessed population, and eventually massive social upheaval. There's not a word for it yet - "wokism" maybe - but we're in for a doozey.


I don't think that's really true. True believers are willing to sacrifice for their beliefs. Most woke crazies can't handle the slightest adversity or pushback, when management is no longer on their side it's over


Don't forget about the ACLU and their recent involvement in the Amber Heard debacle.
