MODERATORS
I disagree. Charities should not have to exist if the government was responsible and funded services in the public interest. Charities have to spend a non-trivial amount of money on fundraising itself and sustaining their own management. Hunger, medical research, veteran care, homelessness. All these things could be alleviated through government funding.
sure, I agree completely, but we just aren't in a world that can do that, so we are stuck at this point.
if you want to blame someone, blame the people still eating up the misinformation, delusions and propaganda pumped out by the various Libertarian/neo-liberal think-tanks and fantasy book authors
I can’t blame conservatives and neoliberals for being victims of misinformation. I can only hope to educate them, and show them that money / labour can be used to ease societal burdens instead of being hoarded by fat cats who have captured the government.
How can I blame someone for not being class conscious when they don’t even know what that is?
