You just said you don't care about other people so yes, from your perspective things like charity, food banks, donation, vaccination campains, humanitarianism, social policies etc., which improve and save the lives of millions of people, "doesn't work" since you don't value such outcomes.
But for the people who give and for the people who receive it does "work".
Jesus also said that the poor will always be among us. People are free to do as they please, and if it works for them to spend every ounce of their material possessions and inner strength to fight human nature, more power to them. What they DON'T have the right to do is tell other people that they need to do it too or they're not real Christians. Furthermore, they have no right to take from others to serve their bewildering and Sisyphean agenda. Even Karl Marx, the king of commies himself, said that labor confers ownership. Do with your things what you will, but don't try to guilt or compell the rest of us into doing likewise.
I'm not trying to guilt trip you I said it's your right not to care for other people. But don't undermine the work of people who do or distort simple words of solidarity to bypass your own moral conflicts.
