The correct answer is: The principle that basic needs must be satisfied before higher-level ones.

Explanation:

The principle that basic needs must be satisfied before higher-level ones go as far as Abraham Maslow, a psychologist that proposed that for a human being (as an individual or as a society) to be happy and self-actualized he ought to have his/her needs satisfied.

The needs of that individual go from basic needs; such as food, water, sleep to more complex ones such as a sense of affiliation, love, self-actualization. According to this principle, the lower-level needs (Aka Basic needs) ought to be satisfied first, before trying to satisfy the higher-level needs.

In this particular case, Brendan argues that starving people don't need counselling about the sad state of their goverments nor advice. They need food and clean water.

The principle that Branden is effectively using is: The principle that basic needs must be satisfied before higher-level ones.
