 This is such a childish take, I’m sorry. 

Nostr come on, we can do better than this. nostr:note1asz8vfphj2fq4qhdd5mw7jmpv408883jey53jvd8yhqujnk9uwlsm6l0fu 
 I think it frames the need for organizing charity, though. It’s incredibly inefficient to help whoever is in need that exists in a 1 mile radius of you, only with what you have and your skill set versus pooling money for a designated, specialized group to manage. Is it perfectly efficient? No, but a decent start. 
 Perhaps I was not nuanced enough in my post.  I help people that I want to help.  I don’t think government is necessary, desirable, or effective to that purpose.  Better? 
 One person is making an argument, a point of view. The other is name calling. Who needs to do better here?
