i just fucking hate this culture we’ve created where its a bad thing to help people

like why stress “a hand-up not a hand-out!” whats wrong with a hand-out? whats wrong with sharing and giving and loving? 

we are a social species, we thrive when we work together and help each other, this fucking capitalist hellscape we live in is not natural or good or the only way

It’s 100% racism. Welfare was popular when the common media image of American poverty was white dust bowl farmers and Appalachians. As the go-to image of poverty shifted to urban black people, public opinion polling for welfare and related social safety net programs plummeted. This has been studied extensively.
