The first quote you mention sounds more like a dog whistle to me. I actually think itâs great if we can âweaponize capitalist enginesâ against the worldâs most pressing problems. But if you hate capitalism, it sounds insidious.
The rest I agree is uncharitable. Like, surely you wouldnât come out the shallow pond feeling moral guily, youâd be extatic that you just saved a child! To me, Singerâs thought experiment always implied I should feel the same way about donations.
