    Giving money to a person pretending to be poor instead of a person who is actually poor is harmful. You only have a finite amount of money to give away and you would be wasting it.

    Very interesting way of rationalizing it though. B+ for mental gymnastics.

      2/10 for reading comprehension, i never said that giving money to somebody who doesn’t need it isn’t harmful, i said it wasn’t as harmful as not giving money to somebody who does need it. Please go back to school and retake your english exams

        You’re comparing giving money to not giving money, that’s apples to oranges. And it’s wrong anyway.

        You’re telling me that giving money to Elon Musk (someone who doesn’t need it) isn’t as harmful as not giving money to me (someone who does need it)?

        Lol it’s such an incredibly dumb phrase that I could pick it apart in any number of ways. You actually confused yourself with the double negatives in order to convince yourself of your own flawed logic lmao

        But seriously, send me some dough 😉

          You are doing a terrible job at twisting reality to push a “fuck the poor” narrative and im fed up of trying to be civil towards it. Please learn some empathy and stop trying to make giving homeless people money seem like a bad thing.

          spoiler

          Also making a rich person marginally richer is objectively not as bad letting somebody starve to death you worthless fascist.
