kind of annoying that ppl are still so heavily promoting the ~daily clicks~ for palestine, which means ostensibly tens or hundreds of thousands of ppl have been participating in that campaign daily…….. and the only documentation i’ve seen is ppl proudly announcing it raised a grand total of like $300 dollars of ad revenue over 3 months? numbers like that coming out should be discrediting not encouraging tbh. i don’t want to diminish the ‘little things’ and i guess everyone needs hope to keep going with other activism but that is such an insultingly infinitesimally small number when escaping gaza costs $10k+ a person and millions of dollars are being crowdfunded elsewhere. i just…. genuinely don’t think US americans should feel good patting themselves on the back for doing nothing

#i’m sorry if this is harsh but it’s very disappointing to see ppl continue to promote it as if it’s effective in any way shape or form #i’m not saying this from a preachy place i am poor and not able to do nearly enough to support gaza for my complicit role as an american #but honestly folks don’t need or deserve the false comfort of feeling like a savior for doing virtually Nothing #like donate $8 esims if you have limited resources but really want to help where you can #but there is zero tangible difference between clicking the ads and doing nothing at all. it’s a fantasy to believe otherwise ¯\_(ツ)_/¯#i’m sorry
