Progressives run activities. The woke right gives them money and data

Organizing protests for the right to housing often involves using tech tools and services from companies with pogre social policies, sparking a debate about consistency.

## The paradox of modern activism

Social activism, in its search for visibility and organization, often finds itself at a technological crossroads. A recent example highlights this dynamic: the scheduling of a camp under the slogan "Not one more Mari Carmen" by the **Sindicato de Inquilinas e Inquilinos de Madrid** (Tenants' Union of Madrid). The event, called for **Monday, September 28**, included activities and open assemblies, inviting broad participation with the goal of "changing everything".

## Dependence on digital infrastructure

What stands out is the apparent contradiction some point out: the use of operating systems, email, messaging apps, browsers and search engines from companies with pogre social policies, often labeled "proge". These same tools, which facilitate communication and the spread of calls like the camp mentioned, are also the ones that collect user data. Buying clothes or using smartphones from brands that embrace these stances completes the picture of this interconnection.

## Funding and the debate

The criticism focuses on the apparent dependence on the "proge right" (a label used to describe certain conservative or traditional sectors) to fund these activities. However, the original message suggests that it is the activists themselves who, by using the technology and services of these companies, hand over data and, indirectly, economic support through their consumption. This phenomenon raises questions about autonomy and funding strategies in contemporary activism.
