Sounds like post-modern Western BS. Altruism/prosociality/solidarity are already words, the “effective” just makes it sound like something a scammer would say.
To me it always sounded like victim blaming TBH. Some poor people don’t deserve to be helped, so us effective altruists (who do things to make people poorer) will weigh their souls and help those who want to be helped.
