That was legitimately disgusting. What is with fatties wearing striped dresses?

No fat thread should go without this gem, it had tumblr in a rage, the comment section too around the first year it was posted.

If you're not actively donating money to buy malaria nets in Africa (etc.) you're effectively a murderer, and thus you can't morally oppose murder.
Only the last part of the sentence is not true.


I don't believe inaction is the same as action.

The most moral thing is for everyone to work for the good of the world, and actual work i.e. socially productive labor, technological innovation, or scientific investigation, and not moving money around, and use ("own") no more than you need. Anything less is not only the suffering of others but the eventual suffering of yourself.
And no part of that is untrue. Communism will eventually prevail.



To bad humans are not improving morally and the greedy / corupt side will always over power the morally responsible in the over all picture no matter what political or economic system is in place.
Comunism may or may not prevail but assuredly whatever organizational ruling system does the few will eventually find a way to subject the many.

Both action and inaction are you choosing to act in one manner or the other. It does require an active act of choosing (out of all of the available opportunities at any given time) on your part to not to act.
The classic example being of course that of a drowning child. If one was to see a child drowning and one would choose not to act (possibly against their impulse to act), then one would have effectively caused the death of that child.
Even if inaction was not of the same moral graveness as an active immoral deed, the difference between the two would still not be great.

That's what tyranny is for.

how much do I have to donate?
1$ 1000$ ?
Enough to save 1 African or 100?
5% of my wealth or 95%?

Or should I just go move to Africa and help them first hand instead?

How anyone gives a shit about anyone's preferences to live but their own is beyond me. I may be liberal but I'm successful, I ain't got time for shaming.
