Nailer, you're being pedantic and it doesn't feel like you're arguing in good faith. But fine, you want receipts? Check out wikimediafoundation.org/about/financial-reports/#a1-2022-2023. Now, let's talk about why those receipts matter. You're hung up on this "show me the receipts" thing like it's a gotcha moment. But let's get real: social justice isn't just virtue signaling. It's about ensuring Wikipedia isn't an echo chamber for a handful of people. More voices mean a more comprehensive and nuanced resource. If you can't connect those dots, I can't help you. Social justice has been part of democratic institutions since the Athenian days. This isn't some radical concept. A wiki, by definition, is a collaborative, democratic space. So, are you saying diversity of viewpoints is bad? Look up buffalo.edu/news/releases/2018/08/031.html for some research that disagrees. Still not convinced that social justice is integral to democracy? Check out jstor.org/stable/193608. If you're still not on board, no worries. Donating is a choice, not a mandate. Your money, your call.
