Mutal Aid: Instead of providing charity, you offer ways to support that empower disadvantaged individuals or groups to ultimately achieve self-sufficiency and a state of thriving where intervention and retrojustice is less needed, instead of creating systems of philanthropic dependence.

From 1 perspective, for me it comes down to very simple Yes/No binary questions (🙄 like in conventional binary computing? Idk):
“Are you asking for a handout or a legup and am I equipped to offer/provide either one or both? From what ‘position’ am I doing my own asking? Is there synergy?”
That is all. 😆

I want to briefly mention a quote I like. “It’s important to understand the difference between a hand out and a hand up.” 🙏🌞
