All you’re saying is activists you don’t like sometimes get donations & support from powerful donors you don’t like.
Did Toxic Dump USA make massive donations to lobbyists or politicians or exert real political power beyond expressing garbage ideas to a large following?
I still don’t see how an analogous situation with a leftist activist would qualify as punching up, and you haven’t tried to explain that.
My conclusion is that you’re overstating the power here according to biases (that I’m partial to but resist indulging).

there is no analogous leftist activist, that’s my point.
No pro-gun leftists? That would surprise the leftists on lemmy decrying the gun control stance of “liberals”.
tf are you talking about? we’re talking about punching “up”. leftists aren’t “up”.
