Would you be okay with Patreon funding terrorists? I mean we can play this game of what is morally correct and what is right and wrong for ages, but in the end it's safer to not get involved at all.

For one, credit card companies would no longer deal with Patreon if they find out they were passing money to fund a military.

Are Ukrainians terrorists? No. Ukraine is a sovereign nation under attack. Do you not understand that?

Inventing completely unrelated hypothetical situations and edge cases doesn't make what Patreon did right.

Funding terrorists and insurrectionists is always wrong.

… but funding freedom fighters is encouraged.
