    Really? I would have said that was a learned behaviour, with all those feel-good stories (& the hype & how it makes them respectable).

    I have noticed I initially immediately distrust “charitable” people bcs at best I discovered their empathy is purely visual (like the shellshock of a crying child, but directly confronting to or advancing the causes of that are outside of view so fuck that child, we all gotta do what’s best for us). Not to mention, it has to be public charity, ie they need to get something in return.

    Beyond emotional support, charities are only for cases when society already grossly failed, not something we want to see more of.

    So many people needing charity for things that arent even scarce, is just horrific & should make us want to make whether changes needed to fix the system.
