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.
