gollark: If you *ask* someone "hey, random person, would you like people in Africa to not die of malaria", they will obviously say yes. Abstractly speaking, people don't want people elsewhere to die of malaria.
gollark: Capitalism is why we have a massively effective (okay, mostly, some things are bad and need fixing, like intellectual property) economic engine here which can produce tons of stuff people want. But people *do not care* about diverting that to help faraway people they can't see.
gollark: Helping people elsewhere does mean somewhat fewer resources available here, and broadly speaking people do not actually want to make that tradeoff.
gollark: You don't particularly need that. You can just buy a cheaper phone and give charity £400 or something.
