- throwaway2413 2y agoNot sure how big of a minority we are, but for some of us, philanthropy does actually come from a place of deep gratitude for our community
- toomuchtodo 2y agoI don’t care about the idea of community, I just want the people I interact with to suffer less. That’s what the money is for.
- notpushkin 2y agoWhy not both!
- neom 2y agohonestly... I didn't put or both because I was lazy to think through if "one of three buckets" was the right way to phrase it, and additionally, too lazy to think of another way to phrase it, so yeah, or both. :P
- schiffern 2y ago> allaying guilt We all know the mere act of being rich makes someone guilty, so that's a tautology.
- rowanG077 2y agoI think you can make a very convincing argument ALL philanthropy falls into either category. That doesn't it make it bad either. If someone does something that helps other it doesn't really matter in the end why they did it.
