Ah, the millennia old argument of "you cannot successfully proselytize donating money to the poor unless you live like a monk yourself".

Ah, the millennia old argument of "you cannot successfully proselytize donating money to the poor unless you live like a monk yourself".
- daveguy 2y agoI am very in favor of climate change mitigations through careful legislation and believe we are doing nowhere near enough. But I think a closer analogy is "proselytizing donating money without donating any money yourself" or in the extreme of making the problem worse -- "proselytizing donating money while robbing from the poor." That proselytizing while making the problem worse is more a problem with the proselytizer than the critic. But the worst of all is making it worse and actively fighting against remediation.
- llm_trw 2y agoMore like the decades old argument that if you keep getting caught fucking men in toilet stalls being gay can't be all that bad.
- pempem 2y agoIs...that a decades old argument? Or is the argument: If you're fucking men in toilet stalls, stop arresting other men for doing the same and claiming no one should do that. AKA the rule of law.
