I like the premise, though I disagree with their idea that they should fund equally offensive but opposite. that just fuels the flame war....I don't think it helps. I think they should perhaps....donate that money to a truly good cause that is also objective and non political nor affiliated.
Damn near all of these groups are, I guarantee you, extremist/fringe groups. No false equivalencies, please.
> that just fuels the flame war....I don't think it helps.
"Flame war" implies that the groups in question are harmless and this is just a matter of people arguing on the interwebs. The violent insurrection of January 6th serves as a great counterexample.

How goes the search for a true scotsman?
Causes can only be good if they are "non political"? So, the various human rights that people have sought to have recognized (say, the right to be considered a human being and not property, the right to vote, the right to marry the person you love no matter their race or gender/orientation, the right to not be discriminated against because of your age, gender/orientation, nationality/ethnicity, disabilities etc) are not "truly good causes" because they were also political battles?
Speech they find reprehensible doesn't generate profit for them, which they clearly find to be unacceptable, morally.
The nazis and whatnot know that their money is going toward the causes working against them. If anti-abortion nutjobs host a site with pictures of aborted fetuses or a texas-style report form, then find out a chunk of their money is going to Planned Parenthood...then they are very unlikely to want to do that, so they'll go away.
