Now I’m no fan of being some corporate minded stooge, worshipping at the altar of meetings and human resource philosophy; but you know the world is upside down when the choice of being a working stiff is far more an independent rebellious life, than that of dedicating your life to social and/or environmental activism. To expand on that sentiment I believe the greatest achievement for a free will minded person is starting your own business. But, until you achieve such a freedom, make sure you never, ever, become a slave to modern day charitable activism. Hiring people, and giving them and their family’s economic freedom and comfort is far more altruistic and loving than any modern activist’s cause could ever possibly be.
For when the company succeeds it will continue to reward the man or woman and their respective people in their lives through an effort and productivity based structure. It will always be simple too, through profit and efficiency.
Whereas the modern cause through organized structural based activism will always be long obsolete to the very cause and correlation to the group’s existence. Whether it be environmental or social, the grassroots of an issue will always raise awareness, and cure the ill well before the organizing takes place and inevitably takes a stranglehold over mainstream narratives. From everything to right, and wrong— and in the end our cultural objectivity as a whole.
It will become a machine, a mechanism bigger than the cause itself. A corporation, but an eerily backwards corporation; that is not rooted in profit or efficiency but forever keeping the very problem alive that they are empowered to rid our society away from. In this simplified breakdown of activism versus capitalism the conclusion for a healthy free exchange of goods and ideas must always be that it is of high importance to value a free economic based society over all socialized charity.
Money is the root to an “e” word, but it is not evil. Money is the root to equality. It’s the great equalizer. It is completely indifferent to a color, creed, religion, or any and all plight of a collective.
Organized “Non-Profit” Activism is a hardline slave to all of the above subjective elements of society. *The objectivity of profits will cast aside un-truths, for lies will hurt profits. Wherein the world of activism— truth is a grey area. A clay-like substance always shape-shifting to cater itself to the very dogmatic world of anti-profit.
Make money. Be free. Care about the people in your life. But never ever donate to anything, ever.* The cause has already been fixed, and your being duped. By mediocre people who have also been duped to spend their money that they otherwise would use on the beautiful things in life like enjoyment with friends, and family. Food, booze, vacations— anything and everything in between.
Live free of social pressures, always, and often.

*Clearly there are outliers such as an ENRON or a Bernie Madoff in the world of unchecked profit and capitalism. But have those ills not been rid of, and exposed? Cast aside as disgusting inhumane garbage. They have. As for our mainstream non for profit charities that have been around for decades who grossly profit on causes long since over—they are still churning, perhaps stronger than ever. Collecting people’s time and money.
*I know there are clear outliers when it comes to properly motivated causes to donate to as well; but be dubious, and informed all the way to the very moment of whether or not to give away your time and money.
