can you get this troll a cool-down period
I only have bans. This isn't ban worthy.
This is more, hey @ra1 your philosophy isn't unsound, but that isn't the world we live in. The world we live in is this one, where some people have immediate needs and some have the ability to meet those needs. We can all argue charity idealistically shouldn't need to exist, but that's not helpful or constructive. So perhaps you want to reflect on the fact that what you're doing is futile, on one hand signalling that people should suffer, another signalling that those who can help in some small way shouldn't... but ultimately, those who can really do something about this - the political, ruling and wealthy class - your philosophical argument means nothing to them. So yeah, you're right... well done, but what does that achieve? Nothing at all. But individuals who can help doing so, so that those are in need receive some help... that does something, that is constructive. There's lots of other thoughts you may have about "yeah but why not help <insert minority group frequently overlooked by the West and media>" and again you'd be right... but it still achieves nothing at all. Your ability to make a difference is yours alone, don't rain on someone else's parade because they choose to use their ability to make a difference in some way that you don't agree with.
