If I have to see Walz or Obama one more time saying they “need” my donation I am gonna lose it.

NO YOU DON’T! THAT’S WHAT YOUR DONORS ARE FOR!

Fucking thieves and charlatans.

Without sounds utterly heartless and mean, this is why I hate "charity". I hate when barons, pharaohs, kings, and merchant princes, ask me to donate to a charity. It really always makes me think "how about YOU donate dude?", and dude can be a person or a MEGACORP. I hate when I got to a store buy my goods and they ask "Would you like to donate to XYZ?" and I just think, why are poor people asking other poor people to donate to a charity on behalf of a MEGACORP? It just feels so wrong to me. I tend not to do so. I'll donate to a "gofundme" or a something I know that organizers are really doing some good work for those that really need, but I always feel like so many "XYZ research fund" or "ABC foundation" tend to feel more organizations to make money and do charity on the side.

I think altruism is cool and good in my book. It's one of humanities greatest strength. Caring for others purely out of a desire to do good rules and I think that's one of the beauties of anarchism as a mindset. Being kind and building up others and support your fellow human is "bussin fr", but I hate how non-profit NGO charity industry gets in the way of altruism intentionally.
