I suspect most of them are actually saying that relying on charity for some things is a bad idea, which isn't inherently anti-charity.


I don't think it's enough reason to not give to charities because people need help right now but the fact that food pantries exist makes my blood boil. It is beyond ridiculous that feeding our most vulnerable people requires a charity to take would be thrown out food from grocery stores and inefficiently spread them around a network of churches staffed by volunteers.

If only there was a massive logistics network for getting food everywhere we could use.
