Earn-to-give has problems, but pretty much no one has ever endorsed steal-to-give and pretending that they have seems like a pretty bad faith argument.

Specifically the Thought Experiment claim:
"My guess is that, if this scenario were better tuned for in-group language, the majority of people in Effective Altruism would endorse this behavior strongly."
@WomanCorn Seems like I'm out of the loop, even after reading the article, but the thought experiment seems to describe stealing from rich people and giving to poor people, so I would endorse that person's behavior.
@WomanCorn There is a spectrum from one to the other, and some people found themselves on one part of that spectrum that isn't pure "earn-to-give"
