Self-promotion is not charity. And neither is putty porn. It's just the cost of doing business when you're your own brand. And philanthropy is a scam promoted by the rich to help justify their wealth hoarding.

All of it ultimately ends up personally furthering the rich person's personal goals. It's all just a way of saying that the rich deserve to determine what society goals should be, and how society should use its limited resources.

It's taking control away from the masses, and keeping it in the hands of those with money.
