Why mutual aid is better than giving to charity (a few of many reasons):
- your money has the most impact on someone's reality if you give it directly to them. none goes into overheads, processing, payroll, marketing, etc
- real people right now have dire problems that cash can instantly solve
- your community (the place where you belong, not a distant separate place) improves and so your life benefits
- people's lives, when you boil down all the world's problems, are the highest priority
