So i dunno if people listen to triple j much but anyway they are doing this charity drive to get people to donate jackets to those less fortunate during winter, whilst i agree its a great initiative its seems to me anyway that the media drive about donations has become more about the bands and famous people donating ( like you can check out the jackets they donated on twitter etc ) more so than about the actual people and circumstances that lead these people to these certain situations of inequality.
anyway i was concerned that the energy of this campaign seems to be going into feel good philanthropy rather than genuine concern about others which in and of itself says a lot about our society as a whole. i actually sent triple j's the doctor a msg on fb about this and the reply was that the issue needs more depth and time which apparently his 12.5hour a week show just cant fit in. now im not trying to be an asshole although im pretty good at that rather just interested why the main focus was on the donators rather than the root cause of the issue
