The Benefits of World Hunger
(lemmy.ml)
The article is actually decently well written good-faith satire meant to address how poverty and hunger are inherent to capitalism as a system. The title was just too bold lol
I appreciate the added context as I hadn’t had a chance to read the actual article yet. It could use a better title though. In the context of being on a a UN website, the satire gets lost completely.
I honestly kind of like the title and the angle of being brutally honest about the fact that the author (like most who are well off) actually benefit a lot from world hunger. That's an important point, not because we should support world hunger, but because if we are to tackle it we must be willing to lower our standard of living.
Started reading the article and I totally get the tone now.
