    it’s deeper than that.

    money is the incentive to corruption. the actual cause of corruption is indifference to suffering of minorities and the disenfranchised.

    the answer is easy. you don’t have to donate. you don’t have to protest. all you have to do is call out the smallest corrupt mistreatment of your fellow human beings.

    see someone getting accosted by police because they are guilty of being black? start recording and ask the cops to identify themselves.

    see someone being mistreated at a store because they are trans? call them out on it. get angry, tell make sure they are aware of how people that act like they do are treated.

    also, don’t stop going there. go there every day. make sure they aren’t doing it again, and when they do, call them out on their bullshit again.

    the only way to stop people from behaving badly is to teach them that it’s unacceptable behavior.

    a society that stands idly by while people in that society are attacked is doomed to suffer and die.
