        How many foundations around the world are covering such behavior?! That's how they trick us! Reminding me of " They came with the bible in one hand and the weapon in the other", nothing new, the only difference is that this world is too noisy so we can pay attention! #StayWoke

        Wow, not so different than domestic abuse. The one who abuses is the same who will present himself as the savior when the cops show up!

        Never heard a corporate or elite claim they are a substitute for gov Is LeBron James gesturing at change but maintaining the status quo? Many successful people similarly mentor kids or small business or donate to school programs.They attract no benefit than good publicity maybe

        But that doesn't mean we should abandon the idea that everyone could/should be contributing to improving society or the planet. Nor does it mean puting faith unilaterally in private sector idealism or in a blind faith of public institutions, both of which are misguided.

        One of the reasons collective action has been and continues to be hard, is that there are actors who would rather maintain a system out of balance (which you point out) rather than do whatever it takes to solve for x.

        Except it doesn't have to be a zero sum game. Many social and environmental problems require multiple solutions, multiple approaches, and multiple resources, working not in isolation or in preference, but together, though this is seldom done well.

        This convo points to how it is much more about intention than anything else. If the intention is to create actual win-wins, always possible, then these words support. If the intention is to use words to obfuscate, then that. We must insist on talking at the level of intention.
