Charity and Other Lies
Manage episode 347947983 series 2619686
"Come on," I hear you say. "They must be taking the piss now."
"I know they claim to 'serve up hot takes like you wouldn't believe', but charity? Really? They had a go at CHARITY? Someone needs to finally put a stop to these edgy socialists who pathetically think it's progressive to be 'controversial'. This isn't helping anyone. What could possibly be wrong with CHARITY?"
Join Glen, Helen and Matt as they skewer the do-gooders and expose the charity myth. They talk about the efficacy of charity, the scam that is philanthropy, and the unholy marriage of money and morals that is the latest trend of 'Effective Altruism'. What is the role of charity in our society? How does philanthropy fundamentally undermine democracy? And when WILL Glen decide to go to therapy?
