The article is actually decently well written good-faith satire meant to address how poverty and hunger are inherent to capitalism as a system. The title was just too bold lol

Well i didnt read the article but it depends on the framing. Is he defending the capitalist status quo? If yes then he can go die of hunger imo. If the article points out that rich people benefit from hunger and that this is in fact bad, then thats cool.
He does directly state the latter.

What a dumb basic essay. So much finger pointing and assuming over the author’s motivations and projecting from people who didn’t read it. There’s nothing going on here really. Move on to something interesting
I mean yes, the system is fucked, we know this, I don’t support it
What a self own with the title then. Should have changed it to “The beneficiaries of world hunger”
Decided not to stir it, probably
That’d be a banger title actually. Nice job! The concept of “benefitting from world hunger” is still bizarre enough for a doubletake, but doesn’t instantly piss off 99% of potential readers by headline alone lol.
FWIW, the article author also wrote a book called “Freedom from Want: The Human Right to Adequate Food”
Yeah I’m pretty sure the title was a bit of a tragic, click-baity, foot-gun. Lol
