> Please correct me if I’m wrong. "culture war" in this context was me quoting a 3yo Twitter thread that made a lot of people, inc myself, realize that Wikipedia's "appeals" are deceptive. I was trying to get the comment up before the train left the station and I lost service. I didn't do further research as to what the organizations were. I don't like the implication that by stopping my support of Wikimedia, I'm potentially racist/pro-racism. That doesn't feel intellectually honest. I was supporting Wikipedia because I think it's a valuable public resource. When I want to support a different goal, I give to an organization that specializes in it directly. Bait-and-switch appeals make me feel like Wikimedia is not a responsible steward of its donations. It doesn't matter what they're giving the money to; it's not what they implied they needed it for.
