Telescopic philanthropy

From Metapedia

Victorian-era cartoon from Punch; "Please 'm, ain't we black enough to be cared for?"

Telescopic philanthropy is a term coined by the British socialist writer Charles Dickens, in his critique of bourgeois liberals who as a form of self-congradulatory egocentrism, pretend to be concerned about "humanitarian" issues far away (especially if it involves people with dark skin) while showing a cold indifference to the sufferings of their own working-class and homeless. This concept is still important today as it encapsulates the attitude of people who work with groups such as Oxfam, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and other Ziono-imperialist fronts. Celebrities adopting African children, while there are plenty of children of their own kind sitting in local orphanages is a good example of this.
