Idk If Im Explaining It Well - Tumblr Posts
My blog has always been just a space where I talk about whatever I want, even if it's my interests, hobbies, or real world problems.
With that being said, whether we're just lurkers, readers, consumers, writers, artists, creators or anything else, it's more important to help those in need (especially those in genocides) rather than going all "oh, but so many people are scamming us by pretending to be those in need :(". That's not your problem.
Maybe it's just me and how I was brought up, but I was brought up as someone who practices to give to the needy. That would mean that, if I see people around the market or a public space that does need money, and if I do have the funds, I would give. It doesn't matter to me if they're lying — I still earn my good deeds for giving. If those people had deceived me and took my money, not only would God repay their wrongdoings, they'd answer to me on the Day of Judgement.
I understand that this sounds 1) stupid, because why would you not check who you're giving to 2) irresponsible, because it involves money coming from my pockets and from people who believe what other people vouch for/reblog. But that's not the point — I do check. The thing is, checking and verifying someone is easy to do and doesn't require much for you to do other than look for reliable sources that would vouch for them. I think that verifying someone you WANT to help is your own responsibility + risk you're willing to take. The same way you'd give away all your money to your favourite creators in hopes that they'd use it for good or the charity that they say they're giving to. And it's not like I go "head empty no thoughts" and reblog every little post I come across, I do check and I hope that each one is legitimate, because that is the least I could do for them. I cannot donate online, but this is the least I can do and I think it's enough.
You threaten the lives of those who actually need help by spreading the word that "so many scammers are pretending to need to be evacuated from Gaza". You make people not want to help and turn a blind eye to the bloodshed that happens in real time. How is it that it's more important to you to prove "all these Gazan users are scammers" than helping people escape from genocide? Sick person.
