This is not wrong in any way. If you undermine someone's ability to help themselves and then withdraw your help, that's two bad actions. There are other ways to go about helping.

>There are other ways to go about helping. The best ways to help countries and communities out of poverty is through quality education and eradicating the endemic corruption. Throwing aid and free money at that corrupt and broken system, won't fix anything. It just perpetuates a cycle of systemic addiction where the people/society depend on your aid to function and are therefore under your control.

  "Quality education" has to come together, unfortunately (contrary to conservative thinking) with free money and food too, as hungry people do not learn.

  This train of thought has very “just build more housing to solve homelessness” character. While it’s a true statement, there are people in need in the interim that would eventually be helped by more housing, but will be irrevocably harmed without short and mid term interventions. In your case, yeah, eradicating corruption might solve the issue, but that’s something that has eluded the entire human race since time immemorial. So in the meantime while we work to solve the human equivalent of an NP Hard problem, let’s help people out.

>This is not wrong in any way ...other than calling it "violence". If there's no use of force or threat thereof, it shouldn't be called "violence".
