      Sure - I think supporting groups that actually help people (rather than create harm for them) is a great alternative.

      I think people are not thinking about the tactical worth of gestures, which is what they are.

      I strongly disagree. I'm thinking: Had it been the Nazi party, would you still think this was a good idea?

      Well, we view the Nazis (a period I'm obsessed with) through a historical lens as if there was no politics then.

      But there was politics then, and left acted like any conciliation with social democrats was same as Nazis.

      Absolute lack of thinking thru the next few steps, finding ways to undermine a growing fringe got us the Nazis.

      The Nazis really were a small fringe; and they masterfully navigated politics of faux victimization and terror.

      I've thought about all this too, Zeynep. Still doesn't justify putting money toward a hate cause.

      I read the money like burning $ on an ad to get heard; the gesture's effect, honestly, is much more than the $$

      I guess we'll see if the gesture has any real effect.

          The retaliation talk was the scariest I had seen. We lost three students last year to hate-crime. It's .. an issue. Sadly.

          I think offering space would serve the same ends & address Jillian's pts but what can u do. It's done.
