Language barriers prevent this, as does the fact that people really don't give a shit about seeing others in poverty, we'll just laugh and say they deserve it because of their location, move on with our lives, and be done with it. There will be congregations of people on the internet where the rich browse one site while the poor are relegated to another.

People have been making this argument for years and years. It's never going to be effective, not in my opinion.
