What is affluent chauvinism?

Affluent chauvinism is when you need 1$ to stop one person's death of starvation when 100000 starve to death each day. But what you see on TV is discussions about model sizes.

Affluent chauvinism is when you need 1,50$ to stop one person's loss of eyesight due to Onchocerciasis. But what you see on TV are fancy new superexpensive bionic eyes in case the rich get blind.

It's unending hypocrisy and irrationality, surpassed only by its money system and its wars.

This wont work if they were born blind because the brain dont understand the signals so it wont view the image been looked at.
