It /is/ kinda odd, isn't it? Like even if we're just going from an "ideal" standpoint rather than "Utopia" it's still bizarrely weird how one side has basically no ambition.https://twitter.com/jules_su/status/1016764572097699840 …

It really makes you wonder, doesn't it? Like, "Everything will be cured by philanthropy!" sounds awesome but...if it's just poor people helping worse-off poor people, and not the people making policy....hm.

And generally those are food banks and the like, not say, medical help.

I'd say the impetus behind right-wing philanthropy (minus the Neo-Cons) is along the lines of "we can help the needy in our community through charity" with an implicit "if they're not in my community, I don't want to be involved in their welfare at all."
-
What exactly /is there/ in terms of the right helping people with medical costs, or housing costs or educational cost? Genuinely curious here - even if it's just in the context of a local community. I can pretty much only think of food banks.
-
(Speaking as someone who grew up in an extremely right-wing area that only had food banks, I have no frame of reference for actual local philanthropy, probably.)
-
A widespread belief among the right, as far as I can tell, is that much healthcare is unnecessary to health and formal education unnecessary to success. But I expect if someone absolutely needed a procedure done, then the community would rally to help cover the costs.
