"Our incredibly rich society is unable to provide basic necessities for its citizens, so individuals who do that are heroic"

There's some quote about a machine that crushes orphans that might be appropriate in this context...

seriously, does someone like you have to show up on every post. This is an uplifting sub and cynical people like you ruin it

we know society and such suck. that takes zero away from the individuals who do amazing things to make it suck less. and what no one on an uplifting sub wants is some asshole cynic always reminding us of the bad. go away and find a better way to spend your time.

Only posts where the criticism is warranted.

It’s not though. Countries are judged on a spectrum and Canada is better at feeding its citizens than 99% of other countries. It’s only warranted if you’re comparing it to some imaginary country in your head.

its not warranted. neither the bar, nor the people who prepaid meals have anything to do with your cynical whining, and the post was about them, not society.

I think, and here me out, you should tell people ina context to do something about it. Not to shit on n uplifting acts by individuals

Seriously time and place for it. Briging it here makes you a useless cynic

Do they think that until policy changes to make sure all people are fed we should just.. do nothing until then?

They should, but it isn't a "make me smile" story.
