@randahl Hey Randahl,

It’s 2026, not Dickensian England; we call it mutual aid, not begging.

If we’re talking about Gazans, they are currently facing genocide at the hands of Israel with the full support of countries like the USA, Germany, and the UK and the complicity of almost the entirety of the so-called civilised West. International organisations like the UN are deliberately being prevented from functioning by Israel and US.

If you want a list of people we’ve verified via video calls that you can help during this ongoing genocide by settler colonialists, please see:

I would strongly urge you to take the context into consideration. Ask yourself what you would do if you couldn’t feed your family, if you couldn’t afford to treat your sick children, if the institutions that were supposed to be helping were shackled, and if you were actively being hounded off of every other online space by corporations complicit in the genocide being perpetrated against you.

If people are being forced to ask for help, it’s not their failing but the failing of the system that is forcing them to do so.
