"an open source playbook with the goal of creating a new generation of thinkers who solve big problems for the communities that need it most and create generational wealth while doing so. Capitalism can't save us, but community can." I knew Topicals was a truly ethical brand from the girlie on Instagram and TikTok that posts about BDS safe beauty brands, but I didn't know they were this based!!!! I am not a beauty girlie at all, but I have a lot of people around me that are, and I like to let them know if a brand is sketchy, but I am truly going to look more into Topicals, I am on a hunt for an SPF so, might look if they have that!
Regarding charities and billionaires, I have a huge issue about that because basically what they are doing is philantrocapitalism, meaning an illusion that they're doing good by giving money away but that money is 1. a tax writeoff and 2. if they own foundations or charities, the money is going back into their pocket! Plus, after years of digging a little bit into the charity industry, I realised that charities are a way to justify the existence of billionaires and maintain the status quo, so I have big issues with philantrocapitalism and its BTS, but I'm probably biased because I truly despise billionaires!
Thanks for writing this article, truly loved it! :D
100% agree about the philanthrocapitalism. Rih's charity only being scored on finances makes me think that it's primarily about the tax write off, and your point about it being a way to justify billionaires is spot on.
