"clearly these palestinian fundraisers are a scam bcos why would anyone choose tumblr to fundraise? it's a niche site that don't have algorithms" this one never fails to make my blood boil with the way it reeks of tumblrite self-importance and exceptionalism. as in, "how dare these people join tumblr and make me have to look at their suffering? don't they know tumblr is not supposed to be like other social media sites??"
who the fuck do you people think you are and what is so special about this god-forsaken, fascist-ridden website that you get to be shielded from reality and look away from what you and your countries have inflicted on Palestine and its people?
what's so special about you, that you think you can just not help out, when users on tiktok, instagram, twitter, and facebook are coming up with all sorts of gimmicks just to trick the algorithm and rally support for the families they are helping? tumblr supposedly not having an algorithm should be all the more reason for you to keep reblogging fundraisers, because you never know which reblog could help a post gain more traction, and you have nothing to lose by sharing, because there's no algorithm that would suppress your posts!
you people keep saying "just donate to official charities" because you want to foist the responsibility of helping to just a few groups of people, pinch your nose and wipe your hands after you hand the money, and go about your life unbothered while a genocide is happening.
you don't deserve to go on enjoying your little fandoms and kekeing about stupid shit in a safe little bubble just because you lack morals and empathy. You have an obligation and responsibility to help, just like everyone else.
