None of this money will go towards empowering people. It will be used to reinforce the status quo. A lot of people will get suckered by the publicity, and they will buy into how this kind of movement can change the world. Meanwhile, they will continue to be rice pickers serving their billionaire overlords.
I don't buy any of this. What charities are going to handle this kind of money without the majority of it being misappropriated? This sounds more like a set up for a giant scam and huge distraction than anything that might actually be useful to other human beings.
