Obviously what’s happening is horrific and deserves attention but sometimes the way people go about “raising awareness” feels more like it’s about them than the actual issue.
Example: someone I know posted an Insta story of herself at the opera saying “at the opera but can’t help but think of the people in Gaza.” I mean… wtf? It just felt really performative and tone-deaf. Like, you’re at a luxury event and using it as a moment for global suffering commentary?
AIBU to feel that a lot of this is more about people wanting to appear caring than actually doing anything meaningful?
