    That community is people begging for money.

    That’s not fighting poverty and hunger lol – That’s lazy westeners who are asking for shoutouts on… Bus tickets.

      Yeah some, there are fundraisers for people in Palestine or people in global south countries that post plenty as well. I wasn’t saying that was the most effective of the ways people are trying to help, just one form

        Oh, so now it’s charities. But tankies donating to Palestine isn’t unique to tankies; any political ideology has done this. In my opinion, to fight poverty and hunger, I think volunteering to help the local homeless is better than clicking a button to send glorious money to others.

          Plenty of us volunteer too, it’s not like people can only do one thing. Some people don’t have time but they have money, others vise versa. People do what they can. Why are you so hostile to this?
