I would not have been able to donate to Wikileaks by any other method than the one I used; Visa and MC had already voluntarily sanctioned/frozen them before anyone was charged with any crime.

I am also aware of people inside Russia who recently donated to the Ukranian war effort. This again seems to be otherwise an impossibility.

Your claim seems to me to be incorrect.

It's okay to not like crypto or to think that it's overall a net bad thing; it's not okay to spread factual inaccuracies. It has 100% enabled things that were not possible before. That's a fact, not an opinion.
