Charity comes up in 5 chapters across 5 episodes of The Higherside Chats Free Show, from September 2014 to July 2021.
Historical Eugenics and Modern Philanthropy
The host discusses the history of forced sterilization in California and argues that the eugenicist mindset still persists in modern institutions. He contrasts the efficiency of Akon’s solar project in Africa with the perceived failure of traditional charities, suggesting that elite philanthropy is often a guise for control.
Transhumanist Agenda, Mermaids Charity, Cultural Liberalism
Carlwood discusses the "Mermaids" transgender children's charity and its endorsement by Prince Harry as part of a broader transhumanist agenda. He expresses concern over the aggressive nature of modern cultural liberalism and its role in facilitating the elite's goals regarding the merging of man and machine.
Voluntarism, Freeloaders and Private Libraries
Adam Kokesh addresses the "freeloader" problem in a stateless society, using a library as an example. He explains that in a voluntarist system, communities can choose to allow open access or create private, member-only facilities. He argues that the current government system actually encourages a sense of entitlement and freeloading more than a voluntary one would. He maintains that throughout history, less institutionalized violence has consistently correlated with higher human happiness.
William Morgan Disappearance, Masonic Charities and Money Laundering
Frater X details the 1826 disappearance of Captain William Morgan in Batavia, New York, which sparked the first third-party political movement in the U.S., the Anti-Masonic Party. He suggests that the modern emphasis on Masonic charities was originally a PR campaign to repair the organization's image after Morgan's abduction. The segment also covers allegations of internal corruption, nepotism, and the laundering of funds between various Masonic organizations.
ALS Association Criticism, CEO Compensation, and Medical Cures
Carlwood criticizes the ALS Association and the "Ice Bucket Challenge" trend, noting that the CEO earns $340,000 a year despite the charity's high rating. He expresses skepticism toward medical charities in general, claiming the pharmaceutical industry suppresses cures for diseases like HIV and cancer in favor of profitable, long-term treatments. He argues that donating to these systems is a waste of money without systemic overhaul.
