White Savior Hysteria And The Real Reasons Why Leftists Hate YouTuber MrBeast

There is a fundamental disconnect between the political left and the
rest of the world that requires extensive investigation and
dissection.  For most people the idea of someone spending a solid
portion of their time and finances helping those in dire need could
only be considered a good thing.  This is not true for the average
leftist, though.  For such activists we tend to find that good is evil
and evil is good, and the upside down nature of their thinking
bewilders those with normal brains.

For the woke, the more you help people, the more you are hurting them
(unless you hold a high place on the victimhood totem pole).  But this
juxtaposition is only part of the reason why they seem to loath
YouTuber MrBeast so much.

MrBeast (real name Jimmy Donaldson) has made a successful career out
of engaging in philanthropy and he gets results; helping people to
gain back their eyesight, saving orphanages overseas or giving poverty
stricken children shoes.  All of these efforts have for years garnered
accusations from the political left and their organizations of “white
savior” activities.

They argue that the white savior trope seen in Hollywood movies (where
a white man travels to desperate countries and helps non-white people
get back on their feet) is an unacceptable image in our modern era of
“equity and inclusion.”  They claim that MrBeast is exploiting the
white savior symbol as a way to elevate himself instead of simply
helping others.

In his latest video, MrBeast showcased his program to dig 100 wells in
Africa for villages with no access to clean drinking water.  The video
triggered yet another social media firestorm in which leftist
activists raged about a white man “pretending to help” brown people
while taking attention away from what they consider to be more
acceptable and progressive non-profits.  They say that brown people
must be helped by brown people.  If white people do it, there must be
a darker ulterior motive.

In the western world access to clean water is usually a given and
often taken for granted.  Sadly, in many countries clean water is a
mere dream, and lack of access holds these communities back from
developing and improving their economic situation.  Almost everything
relies on water.

The video has garnered over 115 million views so far and earns
millions of dollars in ad revenue, all of which goes directly back
into his charity fund to continue paying for more wells and other
charity projects.

So what's the problem?  Is it only that MrBeast is a white guy?  Who
among these hundreds of villages in Africa cares that a white man
helped them get access to clean water for generations to come?  So
far, none of them have complained.  Only hyper-privileged first-world
woke activists seem to care.

Hatred of skin color is only a small part of the greater woke mind
virus.  It's important to remember that leftists are predominantly
collectivists, and it is likely that their deeper disdain for people
like MrBeast is rooted in their desire to undermine individualism and
meritocracy.

As conservatives commonly point out, good charities and individual
efforts to help others are far more effective than taxation and
financial appropriation by governments.  Leftists love big government,
but  governments waste money, steal money, and misallocate money into
non-helpful areas.  Individual crusaders, however, inject money
exactly where it needs to go and make governments look bad.

In the case of MrBeast, he accomplished in a few years what African
governments claimed they would do for decades.  Their corruption made
viable change impossible, and leftist run programs are limited by
their own ideological hangups, making them useless.  All it took was
one “white guy” with a YouTube channel and some cash to circumvent all
of that and get things done.

They hate MrBeast because he represents the power of individual
effort.  His whiteness is just an excuse they use to avoid admitting
that what they really dislike is individualism.  Many defenders have
pointed out the hypocrisy of the leftist reaction to MrBeast – They
drone on and on about how the mega rich should contribute reparations
to help those less fortunate.  Yet, when someone like MrBeast does
this on his own, they are outraged.

The point for these activists is that the hive gets the credit.  They
want the mob to be seen as the hero, not the individual.  They didn't
force MrBeast to do good things, he just did them.  Therefore, they
don't get the glory they think they deserve.  The political left is
often portrayed as the side of empathy and compassion, but their
behavior proves they are not interested in legitimately helping
others.  They only care about optics; constantly scheming to steal
acclaim while obstructing good men in their charitable endeavors.
