I'd much rather donate to an organisation that gives like 90% + to charity.

A book that explains how European colonialism from "powerful regimes" economicially exploited Africa, and was later criticized for being too simplified, has
what
to do with "capitalist propaganda"? I also don't get what that Reddit cartoon has to do with anything either.

You suggested that history books demonstrate evidence for the phenomena of job-creation, I posted one that argued for the complete opposite.
The onus is on you to provide a history book which shows Africa benefits from neo-global liberalisation.
So prior to Wednesday morning...who had heard of Joseph Kony? And he is but ONE of many in Africa. Please don't be a fool. You never care about Africa or what happens to innocent Africans until some video says you should.
This is exactly what me reddit cartoon is addressing. People on the internet are dismissive of insubstantial problems. They are also dismissive of substantial problems. At least we have more evidence to add to a giant heap that people are never satisfied.
What's more worrying however is that this is an appeal to ignorance. Because something is popular, it is not a legitimate topic of conversation?

Well, the highest I know of gives 73%. I thought I heard 90% somewhere, but now that you mention it, it does sound a little over the top.

To be honest, I am against most of the charities. The only ones I will be willing to support (when I have my own money that is) are educational and after-natural-disaster ones, because educational have long-term benefit, while crisis relieve is not people's fault. But, I find questionable all other charity work, because I don't trust people in general, and it seems like people on the other end just get help because they suck....
That's... a frightening view of the world.

I heard about him Monday before the video got posted.
