When the grocery store asks you to donate to Medicine for Orphans and you say no, you’re a horrible person who personally hates children. But when the pharma company quadruples the prices of said medicine for no reason at all, and they have a patent so no one else can legally make that drug, that’s just business and perfectly okay. And when the government slashes funding to foster care to reallocate to the oversized military, that’s just being patriotic.
Oh, and when Medicine for Orphans is spending less than 5% of your donation money on actual medicine, while having multi million dollar salaries for their entire board of directors, those are just administrative costs and you’re worse than Hitler if you dare to question such heroes and visionaries! And the fact that Medicine for Orphans is actually affiliated with a Christian church and won’t use any of your donation to help gay children, non-Christian children or children born from extramarital relationships? That’s just religious freedom!
You need to make an Autism speaks version. That’s be even funnier than the post.
Charities are just glorified scammer companies that don’t have to pay taxes. Change my mind!
Oh god Autism Speaks. That’s the one who tries to “”“cure”“” autism and uses super unethical, snake oil practices right?
Yep.
Continuing the tradition of making the lives of people with non “standard” mental states a living hell I see. These are the people who ran/are runnung insane asylums and gay conversion camps.
No wonder we sent our criminals and religious fanatics in that shit hole
They use ABA therapy which is extremely harmful to autistic people and everyone like them.
I fully believe that they would still be doing transorbital lobotomies if they could still get away with it.
Even worse is that A$ donates to down syndrome charities…
How is that bad? Are the particular down syndrome charities similarly awful?
Haven’t looked into those charities; but I do think A$ is trying to gain control of them to further their interests.
Charities are actually also a funding source for much of international terrrorism .
Generally speaking if your charity donation is going to a “war torn area” it is literally funding the further immiseration of the populace. If it’s domestic it is being used to undermine local businesses, provide a masive salary to a dozen white wine moms and soccer dads, and/or fund criminal organizations. And no matter where your money goes it is also being used as a tax haven/loophole.
The “non-profits” of the big families: walton, bezos, etc are actually engaging in undermining national government programs like libraries, schools, etc.
Shit these days people are donating directly to nazis like azov

Please tell me more
The more that non-profits engage in certain activities the less “effective” the government programs are. So for example the bookmobiles undermine libraries, and private hospitals compete with public hospitals.
The one that is the standout and is actually already well underway is the use of charter schools to privatize education. The Walton Family foundation owns/“sponsors” an obscene amount of charter schools all over the country. and they literally use the wal mart model but on schools. They will set up like 7 blocks away from the public school, attract students and then lobby to close the public school. It’s freaking disgusting. The result is that a pretty significant portion of US schools are now charter schools.
Thank you for the explanation. Absolutely psychopathic behaviour
You’re welcome.
Here’s an article about it. It tends to result in a de facto racial segregation in schools.
I have no idea why anyone would want to be parents in the U.S. This country is degrading to the segregation era.
We need to populate the revolutionary army. But I get what you’re saying.
Nobody does want to be (or can afford to be) a parent, that’s why the ruling class wants forced birth.
I’m happy that I didn’t donate to anything. I didn’t really like charities as a child because I felt I was wasting my time that could be better spent elsewhere.
Don’t forget Bill Gates, and all the amazing work he does with education and farming.
Is it true that when supermarkets or maccies ask you to round your order up to the nearest pound for charity it actually works as the companies donation vs yours and allows them to avoid tax?
Basically I heard that companies who want you to “round your order up for charity” don’t donate on your behalf, they take the donations from customers, add it all up and then donate that as the companies donation vs their customers. This in turn allows the company to hit charitable donation incentives that give tax rebates etc.
In essence your donated change is never passed on from you the customer to the charity but instead operates as another tax avoidance step for Tesco/Walmart/McDonalds etc.
Is this true? I swear I’ve read it is but I have no proof 😭
Yes. Absolutely.
I KNEW IT! 😡 bastards.
