he raised $20000 to keep 200 orphans from being crushed in the orphan-crushing machine

Communism when no food but this is all good. Good ol Arby's paying the food debt 7000 starving children while making almost 4 billion dollars in 2019.

Relative to China, America has

-4x more prime farmland
-1/4 as many people to feed
-that farmland is higher quality soil
-receives more regular rainfall (no monsoon pattern)
-has warmer winter temperatures
-has cooler summer temperatures

there's no excuse lol
this shit is literally 100x easier to do in the US and they're still failing

But what if I pointed at China and said the words "social credit score" when you tell me lunch debt for children is evil? What then, commies?

Mathing out how much money per kid was spent versus how much their shitty fucking school food cost made me so angry I deleted it and wrote this instead

there are ticks out there leeching off school children the same way they do prisoners, and it is fucking gross on both counts and a demonstration of how absolutely morally bankrupt our society is

adventure time indeed, jfc

everybody deserves tasty and nutritious food, safe and warm shelter, comfortable and clean clothes, healthcare, and community, and I will fucking fight a motherfucker who wants to disagree to my face

fuckers. gd this shit makes me so fucking mad.

I'm sorry but what the Kentucky fried fuck is 'lunch debt'

I wonder how many lunch debts could be dealt with if that money was spent on REDACTED instead

Excerpt of Condition of the Working Class in England, by Engels, 1845

from the section titled "The Attitude of the Bourgeoisie Towards the Proletariat"

[some sarcasm throughout from Engels, for those who find difficulty noticing it in text]

Let no one believe, however, that the "cultivated" Englishman openly brags with his egotism. On the contrary, he conceals it under the vilest hypocrisy. What? The wealthy English fail to remember the poor? They who have founded philanthropic institutions, such as no other country can boast of! Philanthropic institutions forsooth! As though you rendered the proletarians a service in first sucking out their very life-blood and then practising your self-complacent, Pharisaic philanthropy upon them, placing yourselves before the world as mighty benefactors of humanity when you give back to the plundered victims the hundredth part of what belongs to them! Charity which degrades him who gives more than him who takes; charity which treads the downtrodden still deeper in the dust, which demands that the degraded, the pariah cast out by society, shall first surrender the last that remains to him, his very claim to manhood, shall first beg for mercy before your mercy deigns to press, in the shape of an alms, the brand of degradation upon his brow. But let us hear the English bourgeoisie's own words. It is not yet a year since I read in the Manchester Guardian the following letter to the editor, which was published without comment as a perfectly natural, reasonable thing:

"MR. EDITOR,– For some time past our main streets are haunted by swarms of beggars, who try to awaken the pity of the passers-by in a most shameless and annoying manner, by exposing their tattered clothing, sickly aspect, and disgusting wounds and deformities. I should think that when one not only pays the poor-rate, but also contributes largely to the charitable institutions, one had done enough to earn a right to be spared such disagreeable and impertinent molestations. And why else do we pay such high rates for the maintenance of the municipal police, if they do not even protect us so far as to make it possible to go to or out of town in peace? I hope the publication of these lines in your widely- circulated paper may induce the authorities to remove this nuisance; and I remain,– Your obedient servant, "A Lady."

There you have it! The English bourgeoisie is charitable out of self-interest; it gives nothing outright, but regards its gifts as a business matter, makes a bargain with the poor, saying: "If I spend this much upon benevolent institutions, I thereby purchase the right not to be troubled any further, and you are bound thereby to stay in your dusky holes and not to irritate my tender nerves by exposing your misery. You shall despair as before, but you shall despair unseen, this I require, this I purchase with my subscription of twenty pounds for the infirmary!" It is infamous, this charity of a Christian bourgeois! And so writes "A Lady"; she does well to sign herself such, well that she has lost the courage to call herself a woman! But if the "Ladies" are such as this, what must the "Gentlemen" be? It will be said that this is a single case; but no, the foregoing letter expresses the temper of the great majority of the English bourgeoisie, or the editor would not have accepted it, and some reply would have been made to it, which I watched for in vain in the succeeding numbers. And as to the efficiency of this philanthropy, Canon Parkinson himself says that the poor are relieved much more by the poor than by the bourgeoisie; and such relief given by an honest proletarian who knows himself what it is to be hungry, for whom sharing his scanty meal is really a sacrifice, but a sacrifice borne with pleasure, such help has a wholly different ring to it from the carelessly-tossed alms of the luxurious bourgeois.

That’s an average of $142.86 for anyone curious

Ukraine could've used all those lunches and more.

In BadCountry, children are made to pay for meals at schools or else they will be taken from their parents and become wards of the State.

Jesus. Get your shit together America

I hope Empire implode

Death to capitalism, and death to America - capitalisms black beating heart.
