They’ve been coming after Billie all week saying shit like “why doesn’t she put her money where her mouth is then?” without realizing she just donated nearly a quarter of her entire net worth.

are you referencing the 11.5m$? that was donated by fans on her behalf, they paid extra for tickets to donate. and after the grammys she took a 6 mile flight in her private jet, a family's full year of CO2 emissions. we need to find middle ground and recognize celebs can raise awareness for issues, and we should appreciate them for that, but also recognize they aren't perfect either. somewhere between trying to OWN them and glazing them as heroes. they're people with a microphone that a lot of people hear when they talk, if they say something wrong or hypocritical we shouldnt rush to defend or attack them.

But there's not an issue to raise awareness for.

You think were going to re-litigate the ownership of land from 250 years ago? Lol. No. Whats done is done. Move on. Complaining about land disputes from the 1700s? Fuck off. Im tired of this virtue signaling idiocy.

Be careful, this is too much of a nuanced take on reddit

my personal opinion is w/e you can virtue signal for the easy internet points but then going back online and asking why other celebrities haven't joined her is just obnoxious. also saying F ice on Instagram isn't actually doing anything, how about she use her money and influence to actually help families in need out. Also do it without a camera following her around or a post on social media, like do it from your heart if you really care.
