Good question. No, i don't think it's much different in other sectors. And the comparison to NGO's is a good one because the same realisation can be made about big parts of that world - ie. lots of them exist to further geopolitical or corporate ends, niches, or keep higher middle class do gooders busy instead of focusing on political or systemic issues. (i have lots of respect for a lot of people in that world still). I guess that leads me to the actual problem; their images as somehow pure or isolated from the rest of societal power dynamics. Everywhere it's about resources, realpolitiks and (media) power, but the internet is filled with people blindly believing in "science", "ngo"'s or people with diplomas for that sake.
