  Why would anyone want to have on their side people who choose to give money to support a murderous anti-freedom organization like MIT? You know what it represents now. You choose to continue to be associated with them. That is not an innocent decision.

    A murderous anti-freedom organization that was apparently OK with a six-month plea deal[1] that Swartz's legal team rejected. So I guess if you want to go that route you can call them "anti-freedom", though I too am against the freedom to crack into other people's networks too. But murderous? Hyperbolic silliness. You do not help the cause you claim to support by screaming, spittle-flecked, at passers-by.

    It's incredible, because it's people like yourself who drive people away from the causes you're trying to promote. But somehow you can't see that. Any cause would do well to distance itself from people who compare MIT to the Nazi Youth[1]. Extremes don't help.
