‘real needs’
Oh, so other donations don’t go towards ‘real needs’? I suppose you’d know.
Sorry - this is long!
That jumped out at me too and I find it so very telling.
Also if you were so very aware that people were struggling and had been a staunch advocate against poverty, why wouldn't you donate those items to charity or sell them and give the money to charity? Or even if you're so broke you can't afford shampoo, use the money yourself?
This is what makes me angry about Jack. The total lack of acknowledgement of any privilege, the claiming to speak for those who don't have a voice and who are struggling whilst Jack complains about their meagre Patreon earnings as they sit in a 3/4 bedroom property with a large garden and the whining about how bad their life is. Their Patreon earnings even at £1 subscription (which I greatly doubt) will be more than some people have to pay for everything. And yet Jack still claims to a) advocate for those in poverty and b) be in dire straits financially. Recognise your privilege Jack, recognise that there are people out there living on as little as £40 a week and start to count your blessings.
It struck me from reading HH2 that Jack mentioned having their "happy ever after" which when you think about it, is quite a child like way to view life. Real life isn't like that, it's messy, full of the greatest joys, the lowest of sorrows and all of the moods in between, but no one in life is guaranteed a "happy ever after." it isn't guaranteed no matter if we own our own home, if we are married, if we have children, it's not a given. We all have to live our lives to the best of our abilities, making the most of our circumstances and trying not to compare ourselves to others.
