It’s not just they are flush with cash. It’s they are funding and fanning the culture war despite claiming to be a neutral party. Some of their funds are being routed to political entities that are not neutral.

Edit: here’s a link to a thread about what I mean:

Free access to knowledge isn't a neutral position.

But I gather you think wmf is doing something beyond this? Which side, of which culture war do they support, in your view?

They clearly support a left ideology by the editors, but I’m not even talking about that. I mean they send money to support far left anti-science groups.

You have a strange definition of far-left, didn't see a single Maoist insurrection in that Twitter link.

Curse of American politics, I guess, when one considers the Democrats to be "left leaning", then your whole political perception is skewed.

(The Democrats are significantly to the right of our centre-right party. People who call them lefties or socialists or commies amuse, confuse, and bemuse me.)

There isn't a single left-right axis. Instead it's many dimensional.

That’s a bit too complex for the average HN poster.
