the fact i even have to clarify this. what i tweeted was not preformative activism i have family in lebanon. secondly i want to say that you all finding this preformative don’t understand that people in lebanon are also relying on social media to get information and resources https://twitter.com/ushiitoshi/status/1291079975442022402
there are many people who have lost their homes and are homeless right now, or they have friends or family members who are currently homeless. keep in mind that lebanon’s inflation rate is ridiculously high, they need to see where they can get food and shelter quickly.
if you don’t know the price of goods has skyrocketed recently so to find food and shelter is 😐
there are definitely people on anitwt who are living in lebanon i think the last thing they want to see is people posting their faces for anisd. for me whenever it’s anisd my entire tl is just people’s selfies. if the tl is clogged and they can’t see where they can get help
TW // MENTION OF THE LEBANON EXPLOSION — because you decided to clog the tl up and do anisd be ashamed of yourself. i’m tired of people finding this performative when what happened in lebanon (the explosion) is a recent thing which means people need to see resources
as urgently as possible. i don’t understand what’s so difficult to comprehend ? this is very very recent (TWO days ago) which means lebanese people need to be able to see where they can get access to help right NOW not LATER.
the stuff you could rt or like or share could help them or a friend of theirs or a relative of theirs. stop underestimating the impact that you can make. however, if the tl is full of selfies it will be very difficult to reach them.
and a lot of you mfs who are talking shit about this “performative activism” i’ve scrolled through some of your accounts and haven’t even seen one retweet about lebanon so i’d suggest you stop talking about an issue you clearly don’t care about.
and in this case. even if anisd is cancelled the tl will be able to see many more tweets about lebanon so honestly what is your issue with that ??? are you mad that the world doesn’t revolve around you ??? are you mad that people will be helping those in need ???
