I don't know who needs to hear this, but stop allowing yourself to be persuaded by celebrities and influencers.

That's not to say don't help those less fortunate. But do it because you want to, and in ways that make sense to you.

Because collectively we've become a bunch of fucking followers, and this does the world no favors. Trust the good instincts from within yourself.

I know it's not generally popular here on Lemmy but some scripture comes to mind: 2 Corinthians 9:7

Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

The compulsion of celebrities and influencers would apply here I think.

God: No compulsion, give as you decide.

Also God: It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God. But again, no pressure guys.
