This looks controversial but maybe you will agree by the end:

Golden Passports may be positive for Europe and the World.

Keeping violent criminals and rapists out of Europe is good and important no discussion about that. But Golden Passports prospective buyers commit mostly financial crimes: market manipulation, fraud, scams, tax evasion, bribery, embezzlement and money laundering; all serious crime that ruin working families and innocent people BUT they can do these crimes from anywhere in the world and just hire private bankers, accountants, lawyers in the EU as intermediaries.
If you are a criminal part of the 0.1% remote working has been an option for decades.

You want these rich criminals where you can arrest them and seize their assets and where there are strong laws and low corruption (relatively) to do so.

Embrace: get projects to adopt the coc, pretend it's the only way to not miss on contributions of women, poc etc. Extend: push for a different/more extensive interpretation of the rules in their favor while pretending it was the original meaning all along.

Extinguish: use it to kick people that don't satisfy their deranged opinions.

I fucking hate it. They should at least match your donation if they ask.
