I know *a lot* of culturally and intellectually secular people who are adopting religion just to have some semblance of a safety net built on being seen, understood and cared for as an individual rather than just being a diligent taxpayer or someone who constantly upskillshttps://twitter.com/HelloShreyas/status/1287522332890865665 …

Disclaimer: most things/services that people need can be bought with money. Trade is not bad. Money is not bad. Donating money is not bad. It's very good! I just think a lot of people are running up against the challenges of overly explicitly/scalably organizing social primates
Every movement has (and always has had) grifters who do little else but siphon useful resources for the cause into their own pockets. GoFundMe has given them a ton more reach and lets them do even more harm.
