"They squander your funds" always sells better than "They engage in hate speech", I don't know why.

People do not want to feel stupid. The idea that they are less smart than their friends bothers people.

People shy away from understanding what the phrase "hate speech" even means, and we get into this stupidity about what "free speech" really means.

If you're of average intelligence, about half the people in the world are smarter than you... though intelligence isn't everything.

"Hate acts and hate speech happen to other people, so I don't care about those so much. But I earned my money, I worked for that. How dare they squander it?!?"

It gets the people for whom the hate speech is something they want, but they want to find an organization that won't cost them too much to do it with.
