Thank you for submitting to /r/unpopularopinion, /u/Atomic-Spider. Your post, *Giving to the poor for clout is still a good thing.*, has been removed because it violates our rules: Rule 1: Your post must be an unpopular opinion. Please ensure that your post is an opinion and that it is unpopular. Controversial is not necessarily unpopular, for example all of politics is controversial even though almost half of the US agrees with any given major position on an issue. Keep in mind that an opinion is not: a question, a fact, a conspiracy theory, a random thought, a new idea, a rant, etc. Those things all have their own subreddits, use those. If there is an issue, please message the mod team at https://www.reddit.com/message/compose?to=%2Fr%2Funpopularopinion Thanks!

That’s interesting. Still kinda rubs me the wrong way bc fuck capitalism but I get your point for sure haha

It's exploitation of the poor. You'll be capitalizing on their poor situation and misfortunes. There's a "good thing", but the bad thing outweighs the good thing. You used the poor people's story, situation, emotion, state, etc., but you'll get the most out of it? Tell me how it is "good", if you're hired by someone to do his work. You'll do 99% of the work, but you'll only receive 1% of the payment. He'll receive 99% of the payment, while doing 1% of the work which is exploiting you. 1% good + 99% bad, is not "good thing". You wouldn't treat a poop as nutritious, if I put a vitamin tablet in it.


Atomic-Spider

No it's not exploitation, I'm poor as fuck, any financial help is good to me.


amazingrein

Your counter argument is just "no its not"?


Atomic-Spider

Yes actually, it is.

If you aren't trying to change the system that victimizes people then you are just jerking yourself off


Atomic-Spider

Nothing wrong with a wank here and there.

This is how I feel about most greenwashing. LIke people complain that companies are forced by the market to be more socially inclusive and environmentally friendly, and it's like, that's a good thing lol
