What do you think all those 'charitable donations' were?

[u/TheLuckySpades → u/potatobreadandcider]

Money given to a foundation that decides where to spend a fraction of that money while paying the higher ups insane amounts, those higher ups being close family or accociates of the rich?

[u/potatobreadandcider → u/TheLuckySpades]

Yeah, and to appear empathetic.

Neoliberalism thrives off of fake empathy. The literally pretend to feel empathy for marginalized groups, raise up fake allyship and cash out. Just look at previous years of pride month. They were everywhere! Now that the it's not profitable, we see less and less. I barely saw any pride stuff this year.

You reminded me of those Ads you see here in Europe that depict African children with some random white person "helping them". Even though they say it's non-profit, you do a little digging and it turns out that one of the founders used to work at Goldman Sachs or some similar firm.

And the funny thing about non profits is that they can still set their salaries to whatever they feel like. 500k/year salaries are not uncommon in the non profit world.

Too real. Not dank.

Companies sell fake empathy all the time. What?

[u/smort93]

What?

Carter Roberts, the CEO of WWF, took home $1,000,000 a year.

All charities have massively overpaid executives on their payroll.

Empathy is very profitable

I wonder what a country owned by corporations would look like.

[u/Tailmask → u/Regulus242]

Why are you wondering just go outside mate

[u/Regulus242 → u/Tailmask]

I was being facetious

[u/AdExtra2331 → u/Tailmask]

But what if they live in a good country, like Europe?

[u/ThatSmartIdiot → u/Tailmask]

this is reddit

[u/Kinexity → u/Regulus242]

It wouldn't look at all or at least wouldn't be stable long term. The thing about countries is that the set of princples they are built on is incompatible with the set of principles under which capitalistic companies operate.

[u/Weak_Bowl_8129]

Empathy is absolutely profitable.

[u/WiiDragon]

So what’s the point of a psychologist?

Wrong yet again, commies. Therapists make good money off of pretending to be empathetic

Thanks for the lecture. These memes will defeat ... something I'm sure.
