Yet, that "advocacy infrastructure” will never differentiate those who are truly unable to help themselves and those who choose not to help themselves. The first group is very small relative the total, but that fact cannot be acknowledged as it would put the advocacy infrastructure out of business.

Poverty is bad, not people who are impoverished. Policies should seek to lift the impoverished, not entrench them

Only people can be good or bad. Inanimate objects can be judged good or bad, but only by a conscious individual and then only in context. Same with other life forms. Social conditions are more complex as causality and trends are far more relevant to the judgment of good or bad than some subjective whim. That means someone with the desire and ability to make rational judgments.
