I don’t think there’s any good answers here. Wasting their time will push their numbers down which, if they are not deemed productive, will almost certainly result in potentially horrific negative consequences for them or perhaps a loved one.

You're arguing for sending money to criminal organizations which will make them more powerful. It's a terrible advice.
