‘Some of the most charitable people on earth’ (citation needed) are massive genocidal adult children. They overwhelmingly supported invading Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Libya, Vietnam, Korea, Palestine. They even venerate people who participate in those actions as soldiers, i.e. in the most direct way possible.
These people are not ‘misguided’. They are bloodthirsty monsters who deny their crimes.
I have family in the .00001%. They are the most caring and generous person I know. He told me to never Trust a Trump since he did business in NYC for decades. He never pays taxes because he donates all he can afford. He rents homes at a loss for families. That need the help. He turns dilapidated schools into affordable elderly apartments. He was an All American and proved to me that Rich folks can be good. Just that it’s a rarity.
Also, ask that friend of yours if he thinks that Pissrael should exist or not.
Chances are, they are in favour of Pissrael’s continued existence, which means support for the genocide efforts past, present, and future, no return of homes and land from Pissraeli settler-colonists to the Palestinian families that they were stolen from, and no justice in this regard in general.
He actually introduced me to Arabic university professors and administrators from a young age. He never blindly supported Israel. I was well informed from a young age about the realities there. All because he brought many minds together for family events.
He literally had Arabic University Administrators as close personal friends. We are Pennsylvania Dutch. We are bland and peaceful people. We don’t even go to war for our own country because of our religious beliefs. Tho I don’t practice because I don’t believe in religions. But I’m a pacifist as is most of my family. Besides my dad but he’s a Pissreal supporter because he’s a Christian nationalist. I also tell my father he’s more likely to go to hell for his beliefs than heaven. He’s a psycho. But my great uncle was based. And calls my dad a radical.
Firstly, I will ask again, are you saying that he never supported Pissrael, or that he has been doing so but not ‘blindly’? You seem to be very eager to avoid clarifying that.
He literally had Arabic University Administrators as close personal friends
So what? This reads like the classic ‘I can’t be racist, I have a black friend’ kind of nonsense.
We are bland and peaceful people. We don’t even go to war for our own country because of our religious beliefs
You are fine enjoying the fruits of colonial conquest and exploitation, though.
But I’m a pacifist as is most of my family
So, what you are saying is that you would not be fine standing up to your empire’s colonialism, and that you just want to enjoy the subjugation of poor people and foreigners in peace?
Is there anything good to your ‘pacifism’ other than not joining your genocidal military, which is the bare minimum that should be expected of a decent human being?
They are the most caring and generous person I know
So, they are nice to you and their friends, so that means it’s okay for them to get rich off of heinous exploitation of most of the world and colonialism. Got it.
So very ‘charitable’. /s
He never pays taxes because he donates all he can afford
So, he uses the system set up for them to pay less in taxes than the people they exploit. And to use that system, they just pay to charities that are useless for anything other than their own PR and what is effectively legalised tax fraud.
He rents homes at a loss for families
Even if we are to believe this and that he is not immiserating his tenants, he still doesn’t live at a loss in general, meaning that he is making the rest of society poorer.
And that’s even ignoring his relations to labour and to the means of production.
He turns dilapidated schools into affordable elderly apartments
So, he is destroying schools and children’s access to education so that some wealthy rich people could get yet more housing for themselves?
Nope. They are kind to strangers and showed how to be a good person. Always supportive of social programs. Always willing to help anyone in need. You didn’t need to be family or a friend. They. Would help. No questions asked. He employed thousands of people in my dying coal region in storage warehousing. Might not have paid super well but for the region. He guaranteed people an income. He would give homes to the churches of multiple denominations. My favorite lake house he had became a nuns home. I miss that place but it goes to goodness now. No the cities closed the schools because they out grew them. They sit for decades. And he goes in and turns them into nursing facilities and day care facilities for communities. It was fun demoing the one school. I used to lunch old teacher desks out the third floor windows into dumpsters. We turned a dilapidated century old school into a community center again. It was closed for like 20 years. And was no longer viable for school use. He invests in these old dying communities.
Nope. They are kind to strangers and showed how to be a good person
Okay, stop. You keep pretending as if being nice in personal interactions somehow overrides stuff like being a capitalist and living off of exploitation of billions.
Always supportive of social programs
Like destroying schools.
Social programs under capitalism are a bandaid. Actual implementations of stuff like guaranteed housing require extremely rich people like him to not exist.
They. Would help.
Okay, how many homes have they given to the homeless for free and with no strings attached?
He employed thousands of people in my dying coal region in storage warehousing
And?
Might not have paid super well but for the region
So, he is extremely rich, and decides to underpay those people by utilising their desperation. And you say that this person is your friend.
He would give homes to the churches of multiple denominations
That’s bad. I hope you understand why giving homes to organisations that have a history of supporting and participating in colonialism, slavery, genocide, general infliction of harm to people, especially LGBT people, women, and non-white people because the fiction they believe in supposedly dictates so is bad.
Going to note that he did not give those homes to the people who actually needed that.
No the cities closed the schools because they out grew them
‘Outgrew’ them how? Did children stop being born there?
Going to also note that you are yet to address how it is okay for him to live off of colonial and capitalist exploitation of billions.
Outgrew the 100 plus year old brick building because it would cost too much to modernize. City grew. The school was replaced by a massive property the city built. He just went in and turned the first floor into a day care facility and community center and the third and second floor into elderly apartments. Section 8 basically for poor elderly to live in at little to no cost to them. Dude did this in many run down towns.
We lived in a coal region that imploded when the mines were flooded during the Knox Mine disaster. Look it up. He used his football skills to go to an Ivy League school. Got drafted by the NY giants but skipped the NFL to go into business. He saw all these old industries collapsing. Bought their old buildings and turned them into a data storage company. Started with microfilm storage up to digital management in the 00’s. Dude kept Scranton Pennsylvania alive for decades with his city investments. Never really asked for much back because he made a living in an honest way.
When the mob burned down his warehouse in my home town. Sadly he had to close up the offices there. Because it was no longer safe to do business with the DOJ for criminal court filing storage. The Buffalino mob bosses court case was stored in the warehouse and just by chance that warehouse caught on fire before the new fire safety system was installed. He was a stand up dude nearly destroyed by the Italian mob because he did business with the feds. That fire burned for a month. That’s how many records burned up in that building. Dude persevered through that tragedy. And didn’t blame anyone for it. Just took it on the chin. But I know the truth because my grandfather. RIP. His right hand man. Had to go to court to defend the company from the lawsuits after the fire. They had security footage of NY plate Cadillacs in the parking lot the night of the fire. Kennedy assassination records were lost in that fire. Sadly.
He used his football skills to go to an Ivy League school
HAHAHAHA.
Why the f are football skills even valued for admissions to universities in the US? What relation do they have to academic efforts?
Nonsensical society of bloodthirsty monsters.
Also, not sure how that is relevant to this ‘friend’ of yours supposedly being good.
He saw all these old industries collapsing. Bought their old buildings and turned them into a data storage company. Started with microfilm storage up to digital management in the 00’s
Not seeing anything that would paint him in a good light here.
Never really asked for much back
‘This rich person never asked for much back when raking up massive profits’.
because he made a living in an honest way
You are contradicting yourself. You just said that he owned companies, but now you are saying that he made a living ‘in an honest way’.
He was a stand up dude
You are contradicting yourself again. You previously said that he owned companies and used other people’s labour for his own gain.
Dude persevered through that traged
Ah yes, the ‘tragedy’ of becoming slightly less rich.
Dude I wouldn’t say dudes a good dude if he wasn’t. He helps black families in a region where the Klan used to run people out of the Appalachia’s. He employed hundreds of minority individuals and made many VP’s of his company before DEI was a thing. You just can’t accept that there are good people out there with money.
Dude I wouldn’t say dudes a good dude if he wasn’t
Well, he is literally underpaying his workers because he knows he can get away with that due to their desperation, and his lifestyle is built upon immiseration of billions, and yet, you do claim that he is somehow good.
EDIT:

You do realise that what you are saying is that he doesn’t even do the minimum of what the ruling class (which includes extremely rich people like him) is supposedly expected to do (provide people with employment, housing, healthcare, etc.) but that he is somehow good.
Like, if this was the extent of a government’s effort, would that be acceptable? Why is this acceptable of the people who hold economies of the world in a chokehold?
You communicate with a person whose lifestyle is built upon colonialism and more generally exploitation of workers’ labour. And you call them your friend.
It does not sound like you are a good judge of character.
Furthermore, you were making claims about how USians in general are these good and charitable fairies, with a few exceptions. Contrary to your claims, they consistently support inflicting the worst atrocities upon the world.

‘Philanthropy’ is just PR for rich monsters. If it works on you, then you need to take a better look at how things are.

You have not investigated these matters much.

You’re describing Christian Nationalists. Not everyone is in their world of thought.
Sounds like almost all USians are ‘Christian Nationalists’, then.
No less than 74% of USians were bloodthirsty monsters in 2001-2002:
https://news.gallup.com/poll/6964/top-ten-findings-about-public-opinion-iraq.aspx
Today, USians largely support the ongoing and highly-televised genocide in Palestine.
Besides Jewish folks. I haven’t met one supporter of that genocide. Israel is blood lusting.
You seem to be living under a rock, then.

Now hear me out. I might know who a racist monster is from a mile away and just don’t communicate with those clowns.
