EA is absolutely a political framework. You're just too lazy or smooth-brained to see it.
Usually that doesn’t involve compelling you to perform that action by any other means than appealing to your desire to be moral.
You... don't know what a moral framework is.
It for sure is morally good to spend any extra money you have in a way that does the most good, billionaire or not.
"Duuuuuuuh it's good to do thing that do most good duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh" <- that's you
Nah, it doesn't. Utilitarianism is pretty useless; in this case, it's pretty fucking clear that the IDF are utility monsters. And what do you mean by "basic universalism"?
response to your edit: that is not an unequivocal denouncement of genocide lol. That's some weaselly shit where Singer is trying his best not to say what is obviously true (genocide bad) and instead try and say "these are ways in which Israel can continue to justify genocide."

The saying “there is no such thing as an ethical billionaire” springs to mind. Who did they, or their families fuck over, in order to garner that sort of wealth?
There’s a running joke/working theory I’ve heard that in order to become billionaire, you have to have killed someone. (The reality is almost definitely worse)
yeah, so we agree, EA, which is predicated on the wealthy actually giving away their money, is a flawed concept as that is something the wealthy cannot be compelled to do without force
Nah dawg it’s the fact that his “incredible solid and well argued” moral framework finds it impossible to unequivocally denounce a fucking genocide that means that maybe it’s not nearly as solid as you say.
Not sure on that but I think he’s related to Sabrina Carpenter. Source, this line from Espresso:
I'm working late, 'cause I'm a Singer
mating pool
probably on par with the other stuff you might see at a rationalist poly compound
It’s almost as if the wealthy by and large don’t actually care about doing good or improving society!!!
It’s somewhat non-trivial to create a billionaire, let alone an EA variant; what other ideas do you have for improving EA?
who is this peter singer fellow? Sounds like a great and unproblematic man. Please tell us more of his teachings.
Nah, just wrinkled.
Even if it were possible, it’s not my job to educate you.
My stars! Good job googling “political framework”! You seem to be under the impression that charities are a black box that do nothing other than save lives. Perhaps you should look into that.
