#ra speaks#personal#‘we used to all agreed accounts begging for money was a scam what changed?’#a) circumstances - spam accounts are still active and parasitising the Palestinian cause. these are actively documented tracked and reported#b) platform - spam accounts still prioritize a personal PayPal. very few can bluff past the general protections of platforms like GFM etc.#which while possible is VERY RARE and YOUR DONATIONS ARE PROTECTED IF FRAUD IS FOUND UP TO A YEAR AFTER DONATING#c) random accounts ‘e-begging’ had no process of verification outside of word of mouth#Palestinian fundraisers have several platforms and organizations dedicated to verifying a campaigns authenticity#and d) you either support the concept of mutual aid or you do not. if you don’t fine! don’t reblog mutual aid posts or campaigns or anything#that’s your blog you do you. but don’t scoff at the rest of us willing to take the risk to try helping others#because helping others ALWAYS comes with a risk. why is the white American mutual post trying to pay their utilities bill less of a#potential scam than the Palestinian blogger begging in broken English to feed their children? please explain why the risk of one is#acceptable to you and the other is not. to the class please.#istg people who criticize the campaign process are the most WILLFULLY ignorant people on this site.#literally nothing I can say isn’t covered in detail by more knowledgeable and articulate bloggers#deal with your internalized racism/discomfort from empathy and get over yourself. it’s my money not yours.#do whatever you want forever I’m not a cop#something something the fear of doing something wrong stops a lot of people from doing something right etc etc#sorry if this is snappy my patience is thin. I do so much volunteer work and it’s grating to have people confidently go online and lie.#like why. you can make your own conclusions from the full picture but why make an assertive tumblr post like you’re an authority. you’re not
