Why indeed? Why did Ayatollah Schumer have his Hamas Terrorists vote to shut down the government and cut off SNAP 14 times?

Oh right, democrats only care about illegal aliens. He's trying to get a $1`.5 trillion ransom.

Too funny! Imagine a DNC attempt to host food banks across the country. They would try to raise funds so that they can pay Oprah, Taylor Swift and other celebrities $millions to make appearances and when it comes time to fund the food banks, they would be $1 billion in the hole. Then they'd blame blacks for being race traitors and wage lawfare against Trump which would totally backfire.

We've seen this before, and so has the DNC, which is why they don't even bother.
 
Is chartiy a primary trait of liberals?

Charity is a valued trait among liberals, especially in terms of broad, inclusive giving and support for systemic aid—but they tend to donate less personally than conservatives. Liberals are more likely to support national and international causes and advocate for government-led social programs.

Here’s a breakdown of the research and ideological patterns:

🧠 Liberal Philosophy on Charity​

  • Universalism: Liberals often emphasize global empathy and inclusive aid, supporting causes that help marginalized groups across national boundaries.
  • Government as Charity Vehicle: Rather than relying solely on personal donations, liberals tend to favor government programs (e.g., SNAP, Medicaid, foreign aid) as expressions of collective generosity.
  • Social Identity: Studies show liberals score higher on global social identity, meaning they feel connected to humanity at large rather than just their local or national communities.

📊 Charitable Giving Patterns​

  • COVID-19 Study (SPSP): During the pandemic, 70% of liberals donated part of a surprise bonus to charity, compared to 56% of conservatives. Liberals were more likely to give to national and international charities, while conservatives focused on local ones.
  • Arthur Brooks’ Findings: In contrast, Brooks’ book Who Really Cares found that conservatives donate about 30% more to charity than liberals, even when earning less.
  • Interpretation: Liberals may give less personally but support redistributive policies that channel aid through taxes and public spending.

🧩 Summary​

  • Liberals are generous in scope, often supporting causes that benefit distant or marginalized populations.
  • Personal giving may be lower, but their support for systemic aid reflects a broader definition of charity.

You know what's really interesting here? That with something like 80%+ of the federal government closed nothing much has changed nationally. Seems to me that we could do with a lot less federal government and it wouldn't hurt a damn thing.

The key word here is "Altruism."

The non-Left sees altruism as a personal thing. You can give to charity or not as you choose. You decide how altruistic you want to be. Charities decide who and how they will distribute what has been donated to them.

On the Left, altruism is forced. The Left uses government to confiscate what the Left has decided your contribution to society should be. The government decides who gets what and in what quantity.

It's interesting to note that as you move Left politically, individual charitable giving plummets rapidly to nearly nothing. People on the Left and in Leftist run nations see no reason to make individual charity and giving. It is left to the government almost entirely.

Americans Are More Charitable than “Socially Conscious” Europeans

People in the United States are so generous that their voluntary giving amounts to 10.2 percent of GDP. The only other nations that even crack 5 percent of GDP are the Netherlands, Canada, and the United Kingdom.

The Left, and the Left alone, sees no difference between individual charitable giving and government confiscation of wealth for redistribution for largely the same goals. A big difference between private charity and government welfare (essentially the same thing) is that private charities actually pay attention to who is getting their largesse and how it is used. That is, they expect good results from charitable giving.
On the Left with government welfare there is nothing beyond a basic set of tests for need followed by a fixed amount of welfare given periodically. Little effort goes into improving the lot of those receiving benefits and often the rules to receive those benefits work at cross-goals to improving the lives of those receiving them.

On the whole, government does a shit job of delivering charity.
 
Altruism is self-generated, empathetic and useful.

Those who use terms like 'toxic empathy' truly do not care for others.

They are to be identified and avoided.

They prey on the weaker ones when possible, victimizing family or social groups or the community.

Be careful of people or groups that define themselves as:
  • Classical liberal – Emphasizes individual liberty, limited government, and free markets.
  • Minarchist – Advocates minimal state intervention, often limited to defense, police, and courts.
  • Anarcho-capitalist – Supports eliminating the state entirely in favor of private enterprise and voluntary contracts.
  • Free-market advocate – Prioritizes economic freedom and deregulation.
  • Individualist – Focuses on personal autonomy and self-reliance.
  • Voluntaryist – Believes all human interactions should be voluntary and free from coercion.
  • Anti-statist – Opposes centralized government control.

Value-Based or Philosophical Synonyms​

  • Autonomist – Stresses personal autonomy and self-governance.
  • Freedom lover – Informal term for someone who values liberty above all.
  • Civil libertarian – Emphasizes protection of civil liberties and constitutional rights.
  • Non-interventionist – Opposes foreign entanglements and military intervention.

Party or Movement-Related Terms​

  • Liberty-minded – Often used to describe politicians or voters who lean libertarian but aren’t formally affiliated.
  • Small-government conservative – Shares overlap with libertarianism, especially on fiscal and regulatory issues.
  • Constitutionalist – Focuses on strict adherence to the U.S. Constitution, often aligning with libertarian views.
