Resignation: minor edit please

The quote referenced by 139 is a bit grammatically off and unclear, please edit it. 173.79.228.36 (talk) 02:25, 4 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Philanthropy/lobbying etc.

Why is it called the former when clearly it's the latter? Only thing they seem to be doing is using their money to buy what they're interested in... since when is that philanthropy? A possibly neutral term could be merely donating, but funding churches that hope for a theocracy isn't quite "promoting the welfare of others"... 92.7.58.211 (talk) 06:02, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Philanthropy is a vague concept with a lot of nuances. You might think that certain things don't promote the welfare of others, but other people might disagree. Kerdooskistalk 17:02, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
