I agree with you that this is what people, and I have trouble with:

"They deal with dicey equations like how much sacrifice today is justifiable to achieve a better tomorrow. Similarly, they’ll make the difficult suggestion that resources spent to do good on the local level in this country would be better spent in another country where the dollars—and the good that can be done—go much further." I think that Thanos from the Marvel movies is a great example of an Effective Altruist, along with most Hollywood villians. I also think that if you really want to make an impact, support your local nonprofits.
