If you can't afford to give a couple of quid to a charity you like you should take a long hard look at your life decisions imo |

Because "virtue" has an economic and political value. That's why there are so many "ethical" adverts on the tv these days...companies desperate to cash-in on "right on" values.
You keep hearing the phrase "virtue signalling", so all of this so called "good" has been factored into advanced Capitalism. People must be thinking, "I'm a good person - I give to charity." |

I think many just give to feel good themselves. Whether the charity they give to does more harm than good is not very important, and not something they investigate or think about.

Personal issues come into being too. A lot of people I've known throughout the years have started contributing to charities that affect them or their families directly
