I thought his whole deal was “effective altruism” aka get rich then use the money to make the world better… mcconnell is not making the world even slightly better - he enabled trump for 4 years, and then turned on him after his coup attempt failed. Not to mention he undemocratically refused to confirm obama’s supreme court pick, which is bad enough on its own, but has also resulted in women across the US being forced by the government to bear children against their will.
None of that is a good look for someone claiming to be motivated by altruism
- 0x5345414e 4y agoSBF more or less admitted in the leaked Twitter DMs that the “effective altruism” was just PR (surprising no one, I hope)
- ourmandave 4y agoSBF doesn't represent effective altruism anymore than the hacker claiming "there's suspicious activity on your account" represents your bank.
- landemva 4y agoEffective altruism was hijacked to provide cover for the rich party crowd. Same for many of those charities in Africa, unfortunately. McConnell is a neocon protecting the swamp. He worked against Trump and for the swamp. Anecdote that having been on elevators with McConnell, I suspect he was picked on during elementary school recess and spends his decades in DC giving payback.
