Keeping all our money to ourselves, not only having enough to keep us warm and our stomachs stuffed, but actually being able to spend on a lot of luxury, e.g. most of the tech gimmicks around, while other people are literally starving is obviously inhumane.

However, donating to "charities" is just not gonna do it. I'm not talking about details like "don't give 'em fish, give 'em a fishing rod".

Rather, considering that we, at a minimum the so-called "West", have been and are still collectively robbing other countries and regions blind, all that we individuals are able to give back is way less than that. Just have a look at Indonesia now and in the last couple of decades, or check what most African countries export vs. what they import to see it is still ongoing. Lately, at least most of South America is finally getting out of the morass. But not due to charities from the West, rather due to their standing up against Western capitalist interest.

So after understanding that we - as a society, and everyone living in it benefits from society - are not really philantrophic by giving a little back having taken a lot.

Our time and money needs to go where we think we can change this system. A big task, but just giving to some charity is not gonna cut it.
