Just to clarify, until recently you were under the impression that the political advocacy organization you donated to had no political opinions of their own?

- loeg 5mo agoGP is complaining about a shift from one set of positions to a different set.
- anonymousiam 5mo agoGP (me) is not complaining about shifting positions. EFF was fairly neutral for the prior two decades, and even though I did not agree with everything they did, I thought they were worthy of support. Last year, they began filing some lawsuits without much research or diligence, and without much of a legal basis. I waited a while and watched, and I saw them becoming more and more partisan. I liked it when they were more about defending rights and less about attacking the "right."
- ethanrutherford 5mo agothe EFF didn't move from political neutral. The right just moved more right.
- loeg 5mo ago> not complaining about shifting positions > EFF has changed > EFF was fairly neutral ... Last year, they began ... I saw them becoming more and more partisan I mean, I read that as a shift.
- anonymousiam 5mo agoRead it as you wish. I would have been just as displeased if they had swung "right" instead of "left."
- loeg 5mo agoI didn't comment on directionality, just that you were objecting to a change (synonymously, a shift).
- anonymousiam 5mo agoI did not see it as a "shift", because IMHO they were non-partisan before, and now they've changed. It's not moving the line, it's creating a line.

- mghackerlady 5mo agoad hominem. but whatever, lets suppose trump and elon aren't fascists. what exactly do fascists do? Oppression of minorities? Check Capitalism as the main apparatus of the state? Check Imprisoning dissenting voices? Check Creating lists of people to get rid of? Check Authoritarianism? Double check Creating an out group and scapegoating it as an "enemy from within" Check if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and looks like a duck, it doesn't have to scream it's a duck and sieg heil to be sure it's probably a duck or at least not a swan
