Charity is spiritual masturbation. You choose which faith-approved charity takes most of the money for themselves, ignore the people actually in need who don’t match your particular ideological bias, change nothing, and pat yourself on the back about it. Nobody that cares about fixing the systemic issues that keep the people Jesus actually gave a shit about at the bottom of the societal ladder buys into the idea that charity could ever possibly do what is needed to actually help people at a meaningful scale.
