      If someone mugs me and then hands me a dollar, that is charity.

          Philanthropy doesn’t actually do anything to address the issues in tangible terms. Not only that, but the problems that it’s meant to address are actually caused by the very people using philanthropy as PR for themselves. https://news.stanford.edu/stories/2018/12/the-problems-with-philanthropy

              So you’re saying philanthropists cause cancer in children?

              That’s quite possible, rich businesses have a quite extensive history of poisoning environment.

              Your meme specifies: In a truly free market, voluntary charity would help the poor - indeed that’s a fact.

              The poor are the product of the free market operating. The free market is what’s creating the problem in the first place.

              So you’re saying philanthropists cause cancer in children? And that’s why they donate to children’s cancer hospitals…?

              Now that’s just a straw man you’re using to derail the argument.

              His arguments countered.

              🤣

                A strawman that may actually be true, given how much poison the rich have dumped into our environment.

                  Indeed, all the externalities of businesses operating is how we find ourselves in a climate and ecological disaster.
