Basically, Effective altruism is the no bullshit-attitude toward charity. Doing volunteer work at a dog shelter, for example, may feel fluffy and fine and Instagram-friendly, but it's less reasonable than taking a job in finance, making the $$$ and donating it to well-thought-out causes if it's true altruism you're after.
Effective altruism can be considered from everything to choosing charity organizations, to choosing lifestyle and career (as the example above), or to even world politics.

Any charity that isn't from the heart isn't charity, it's you paying money into a system.

I said what I meant. If you give money to something that is bad, and you know it's bad, then it isn't charity, because charity is good. Also, forcing you to pay into it, and not have be this you can if you want to, but if you don't then I'm not gonna stop you isn't charity, it's you putting your hard money into it.
