Is it a patriotic act to fund a country that manufactures weapons that are used to destroy your own country? No, it is not. I prefer to live in a country that uses all the funds for its own development or betterment rather than to live in a country that funds it's opponent to destroy it.
I don't understand your metaphor, Wasabi is open source software, there's no countries or weapons involved.
I just don't understand why you aren't frank. Yes, Wasabi is better than nothing but it's not the best tool to protect privacy because you fund your own worst enemy. If you want to say it's still the best tool, yes, you can say but facts are facts.
I am being as frank as possible:
The fact is that Wasabi is the best tool to protect privacy and that fact does not change regardless of what anyone spends their money on.
