‘Some of the most charitable people on earth’ (citation needed) are massive genocidal adult children. They overwhelmingly supported invading Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Libya, Vietnam, Korea, Palestine. They even venerate people who participate in those actions as soldiers, i.e. in the most direct way possible.
These people are not ‘misguided’. They are bloodthirsty monsters who deny their crimes.
Also, ask that friend of yours if he thinks that Pissrael should exist or not.
Chances are, they are in favour of Pissrael’s continued existence, which means support for the genocide efforts past, present, and future, no return of homes and land from Pissraeli settler-colonists to the Palestinian families that they were stolen from, and no justice in this regard in general.
They are the most caring and generous person I know
So, they are nice to you and their friends, so that means it’s okay for them to get rich off of heinous exploitation of most of the world and colonialism. Got it.
So very ‘charitable’. /s
He never pays taxes because he donates all he can afford
So, he uses the system set up for them to pay less in taxes than the people they exploit. And to use that system, they just pay to charities that are useless for anything other than their own PR and what is effectively legalised tax fraud.
He rents homes at a loss for families
Even if we are to believe this and that he is not immiserating his tenants, he still doesn’t live at a loss in general, meaning that he is making the rest of society poorer.
And that’s even ignoring his relations to labour and to the means of production.
He turns dilapidated schools into affordable elderly apartments
So, he is destroying schools and children’s access to education so that some wealthy rich people could get yet more housing for themselves?
Nope. They are kind to strangers and showed how to be a good person
Okay, stop. You keep pretending as if being nice in personal interactions somehow overrides stuff like being a capitalist and living off of exploitation of billions.
Always supportive of social programs
Like destroying schools.
Social programs under capitalism are a bandaid. Actual implementations of stuff like guaranteed housing require extremely rich people like him to not exist.
They. Would help.
Okay, how many homes have they given to the homeless for free and with no strings attached?
He employed thousands of people in my dying coal region in storage warehousing
And?
Might not have paid super well but for the region
So, he is extremely rich, and decides to underpay those people by utilising their desperation. And you say that this person is your friend.
He would give homes to the churches of multiple denominations
That’s bad. I hope you understand why giving homes to organisations that have a history of supporting and participating in colonialism, slavery, genocide, general infliction of harm to people, especially LGBT people, women, and non-white people because the fiction they believe in supposedly dictates so is bad.
Going to note that he did not give those homes to the people who actually needed that.
No the cities closed the schools because they out grew them
‘Outgrew’ them how? Did children stop being born there?
Going to also note that you are yet to address how it is okay for him to live off of colonial and capitalist exploitation of billions.
You communicate with a person whose lifestyle is built upon colonialism and more generally exploitation of workers’ labour. And you call them your friend.
It does not sound like you are a good judge of character.
Furthermore, you were making claims about how USians in general are these good and charitable fairies, with a few exceptions. Contrary to your claims, they consistently support inflicting the worst atrocities upon the world.
I do not support USian engineers, and neither should you.
It would be the best for the world if the US lost all capacity to research, develop and manufacture things.

‘Philanthropy’ is just PR for rich monsters. If it works on you, then you need to take a better look at how things are.

Are you saying that he never supported Pissrael, or that he has been doing so but not ‘blindly’?

You have not investigated these matters much.

Sounds like almost all USians are ‘Christian Nationalists’, then.
No less than 74% of USians were bloodthirsty monsters in 2001-2002:

Today, USians largely support the ongoing and highly-televised genocide in Palestine.
