what i mean is that you can still give money to charity and not be a hypocrite if u accept the contradictions. I mean someone can work for a charity and collect for them as long as they realsie the shortcomings. I just means your in a contradictary position buy your not a hypocrite.
so if you accept the contradictions, its ok to support amnesty international then?
basicly revol we are agreeing. now all i've got to get you to do is start hugging trees
i agree with this although i could say that i'd like to know how amnesty chose to defend that approach ( i suspect its to do with not pissing off mps who can choose to support amnesty cause like you said its for folk in other countries and so its safe in terms of question time in parliament, funding etc.. but thats the cynical me. maybe someone whose part of amnesty would like to tell us why.)
so whats the criteria of a "good" charity then that an unhypocritical anarchist caught in contradiction would want to donate to? who is doing decent grassroots work? the criteria of emergency aid doesn't really work , cause one of those big players is the one cited in the example i gave above of the "new colonialism".
