I wish I had the capital and time to try to fix the system. I’m not rich, I have to work to pay the bills and mortgage. I do understand my relative privilege and so try to do good where I can. I’m involved in 3 charitable organizations locally. We help feed and house lots of people. We bring clean drinking water to desperate populations elsewhere. I raise more money doing this than I could by taking my salary and directly spending it to fix an entire system. So, am I still a hypocrite? Boolean, absolutist thinking actually hinders progress.
