I’m not sure most of them really do mean well. By that I mean they don’t really give a crap about helping people, they just want to make themselves feel better. Then there are those who just want to exercise power to make things the way they want them. They dress that up to look and sound like caring and compassion. I used to think most leftists meant well, but were merely misguided. I now think that is a minority.
That may be the case in a lot of Hollyweird. Remember Mommy Dearest...............
Yup, just take a look at all of the celeb "Concerts for Charity". Band flies in, gets treated like rock stars, plays a couple of songs to save the world from the current trendy disaster, then reaps months of positive PR about it. "Hey, I played at the BLAH BLAH for the World concert this spring. What have YOU done?". No followup, no donations, no nothing. Just a bunch of feelgood-ism, when the cost of getting them there and pampering them could have done far more good.
And, the people that GO to the concert say "Hey, I WENT to the BLAH BLAH for the World concert this spring. See how enlightened I am!!" And the cost of the concert ticket could have done far more good with local charities. Or, they could have donated a weekend's work to a local church and *really* accomplished something.
Now, if these rock stars say "Hey, I want to play a concert" and their fans say "Hey, I'd love to see these guys play." IMHO that's fine. But pretending an event like that will save the world....that's just hypocracy.
