This makes me so sad and feels so true.
“We’re living in an age and a time where the very idea of kindness and decency is seen as something evil and vile, and something to be destroyed. The idea that communication, concession, and working together is a sin to be vanquished. That charity and decency is a weakness to be punished. That the more cruel that you can be is virtuous, the idea that giving fealty to your tribe is Honorable and doing anything decent and kind and good for someone who’s not in your tribe is a crime, and thinking for yourself is abhorrent. This is the is the country I’m living in right now.”

Just Always say no. Don’t feel guilt, just say no. If it is a charity that you actually care about then still say no and donate to the charity yourself. Why give GiantCorp money for charity when they are trying to bully you with psychological bullshit, making their employee have awkward interactions with customers, AND then taking a tax write off for donations they did not even make! The 50/50 gets me to, If GiantCorp wats to donate then donate don’t use it as a marketing ploy.
