Except for elitism, I am and post none of those things. Elitism is great when applied properly and with humility. Surely the actually most capable people should be leading things.
I'm all for seeing opinions that differ from mine, but outright ignorance that everybody is cheering is disgusting and indeed very anti-elitist in the worst way.
I can and will fix this myself though. Some lemmy clients allow hiding the scores, just unfortunately not the default client of my instance.
A straight-up zeroing of the aid is a horrible idea, but also keeping an entire country completely dependent on food aid for several decades is also a bad idea.
In Sudan, the famine is created by humans locally, by the brutal civil war between SAF and RSF. Both are attacking the other side's food security.
Also, the article contains a typical idiocy:
Oxfam has estimated that a 10% tax on Musk’s $1 trillion fortune would generate enough revenue to end extreme poverty worldwide for a year.
Wealth simply doesn't work like that. Do better, Oxfam.
The propaganda that you recognize as propaganda is probably not targetted at you. The propaganda that makes you go "those fucking assholes" is the one that's probably targetted at you.
The trick might be not to be ugly.
