This is one of the keys of his campaign. Nonprofits pay a lot of people to not solve the problem they claim to be solving. Remember when Mr. Beast went to Africa and built two clean water wells, and the NGO nonprofits over there criticized him for it, as some white savior complex or something. He instantly solved the problem they claimed they were advocating and working on.
If you tackle and dent or even solve rampant homelessness, a lot of people lose their jobs and a lot of the funding and donations cease and that's why there's a sudden flood of negative media going his way. They aren't scared of him winning. But they are scared that once people realize problems can be solved, a whole lot of the slush funding dries up.
Chloe woke up at 6:45am and immediately felt proud of herself.
She had, after all, not eaten a single animal product in four years. The planet was healing. She could feel it.
6:52am - Applied her morning SPF. The SPF contains beeswax. Chloe does not know this. Moving on.
7:10am - Breakfast: a smoothie containing avocado. The avocado was grown in Michoacán, Mexico, on land where a pine forest was until 2019. It required approximately 320 litres of water to produce. It was flown to the UK. Chloe sprinkled hemp seeds on top. The hemp seeds came from China. Chloe felt connected to the earth.
8:00am - Got dressed. Polyester leggings, derived from crude oil. A bamboo top that was processed using carbon disulphide in a Taiwanese chemical plant. Trainers with a recycled plastic upper that sheds microplastics into waterways with every wash. Chloe's outfit today had a higher carbon footprint than a ribeye steak. Chloe does not know this either.
9:30am - Posted on Instagram about choosing compassion. The phone was manufactured in a Shenzhen factory using cobalt from the DRC, where mining operations have displaced local communities and killed an unknowable number of small mammals, reptiles, and insects. The algorithm served Chloe an ad for oat milk. Chloe liked it.
12:00pm - Lunch: tofu stir-fry. The soy was grown in Brazil. Brazil produces more soy than almost any country on earth. The primary reason is soybean oil: one of the most widely used industrial and culinary oils on the planet. The soymeal left over after oil extraction is fed to livestock as a byproduct. Chloe is aware of the livestock connection and finds it outrageous. She has not looked into why the soy was grown in the first place. The answer is the oil. The oil is in her salad dressing.
1:30pm - Drove to the garden centre. The car runs on petrol. Chloe has a Just Stop Oil sticker on the bumper. This is not being commented on further.
3:00pm - Bought a monstera. The monstera was grown in a Dutch greenhouse using natural gas heating. Chloe put it next to the pothos that is slowly poisoning the neighbourhood cats.
6:00pm - Dinner: pasta with cashew cream sauce. The cashews were processed in Vietnam, often by workers in conditions that would prompt significant commentary if they were in an abattoir.
8:00pm - Watched a documentary about factory farming. Wept. Posted about it. Caption: "We have to do better."
Chloe is, by every measure she has chosen to measure by, doing brilliantly.
By some of the others, the picture is more complicated.
Chloe has not chosen to measure by those.
🎼 “Gabriel’s Oboe” by Ennio Morricone is often considered one of the most breathtaking themes ever composed for film. Written for The Mission (1986), its haunting melody later inspired the beloved vocal piece “Nella Fantasia.”
In this performance, Henrik Chaim Goldschmidt reveals why the oboe is so often described as the instrument closest to the human voice. 🌬️ Its warm, expressive tone carries emotion beyond words, creating a powerful connection between the earthly and the spiritual. 🏛️✨

Britain isn’t dead… It’s sleeping. 🇬🇧
Amelia’s new gothic anthem, “Bring Britain Back To Life” is a call to wake up our nation.
If you still believe in Britain, listen and share. I hope you like this, as it has taken me a very long time to make this.

Yoseph Haddad, an Arab Israeli who was a commander in the IDF, came to the University of Michigan to debate anti-Israel students on whether Israel is an apartheid state.
You will be blown away by how ignorant those students are.
It’s come to this.
@potkazar sent me the video which was too long for me to stomach so I cut it down a bit. No need for subtitles.
The parents of a young man who was missing and found dead after 5 years, are brought on TV and presented with his body, supposedly wrapped in a shroud, their grief is aired live on Iran state television.
After all the young people they’ve murdered, not to mention the innocent protestors they’ve publicly executed, this - YES THIS - is how the regime tries to boost their plummeting public approval.
Apparently the wrapped body is fake too which makes it all even more ridiculous.
Hard to make sense of the rationale behind it but the brazen shamelessness is absolutely mind blowing.
