I would personally say that's unnecessary hairsplitting, since regardless of the specific flavor of evil, it's still monumentally bad their CEO funded it.
I think there’s a real problem with that line of thinking.
Without understanding a persons politics are just vibes.
Also condensing the bloodthirsty futurists who imagine totalizing war of all against all and honestly quaint ethnonationalists who want to have the third reich but without all those pesky wars is pretty clearly a stumble even if you were to recognize that they’re both the enemy of global communism. It’s worth it to recognize that praline ice cream and pickles are wildly different things even if you don’t like either and they both start with the letter “p”.
And that’s what the op asked about. “It seems like it’s this thing, is that correct?” “No, it’s not that thing”. Which would, to your point, make it neither unnecessary nor hair splitting.
