So I'm watching the Sargon video about David Lammy.
I'm actually somewhat in agreement with the guy
<:NPC:500042735617703967>
Sargon seems to be uninformed about the concept of international welfare and NGOs who are keeping Africans in poverty by giving them stuff.
Yes, we should stop sending aid to Africa.
And yeah, these charities seem to exist to make white liberals feel better about themselves
The feel good ones are the useful idiots
Comic Relief is a charity that builds things. BEGONE AMERICAN
Are Africans unable to build things?
It's one thing to say stop giving them money and give them stuff that will help them longer term. It's another thing to say stop helping them because you're white.
well the poorest are and stop refering to Africa as if it's a country.
@Gen Kumon I didn't hear that at all from the guy
Black people make that mistake everyday <:makes_you_think:382980749780844554>
It seemed he was saying that white people give money to Africa as a virtue signal
So am I.
Lammy seemed to be saying that these charities are feel-good factories for rich white liberals who want to feel like they're doing good in the world
Oh I didn't know
I'd defund Oxfam before I defunded Comic Relief
Not really the message I read into his words.
π€·
I'd defund Unicef before Comic Relief
I mean, don't get me wrong, I actually do think we need to scale back and rethink foreign aid to the third world. A lot of it's wasted, a ton of it just goes to soldiers and warlords, and what of it does get to the average person doesn't really help in the end. But, you know, framing is important.
Yeah, the further into this video I get, the more I disagree with Sargon.
That radio call in guy was completely right.
π€¦πΏ
Send farming equipment rather than food or money. That sort of thing.
Seriously you can just have Lammy he 's the biggest American style race baiting idiot we have. You'll love him
Jesse Jackson would eat him alive.
How was any of that race baiting?
Honestly, his entire argument seemed exceptionally Libertarian and voluntaryist
Sargon is the one who claimed it's "race baiting" in some weird way
All of this from a fundamental misunderstanding of what international aid is. And it's NOT 'charity'
Mate. Lammy literally only cares that the person sent by Comic Relief to Africa to film their projects is a White Woman.
he doesn't give a shit about the the people benefiting
He seemed to be against sending aid as well
Get him to say that then
he'll lose ALL his votes
every single one
