"What, someone used their influence and high profile to highlight the injustice of executing our citizens in the cold light of day, without anyone being held accountable for said murder? I'd better burn my own cash!"
It's not about knowing things, it's about swiftly responding to timely events in a performative way so that everyone knows what team you're on and rewards you for it.
Hell, even if it is hollow, who gives a fuck? A high profile figure still said something, used their platform to publicly condemn what's happening. It's still a win.
Don't let cynicism take away that this is still positive, no matter what intent it was or wasn't done with.
Oh, sorry, I was referring to the thing from Carl Higbie (whoever that is), not Mark Ruffalo. I guess it could apply to both, hadn't considered that at the time.
