Just 5% of the money raised went to feed starving Ethiopians. The other 95% was used by rebels, to buy weapons. Social media has dramatically accelerated this bullshit so that now every actual problem becomes just a platform for individual self-expression. /2

And we’ve seen what this same industry has done with Covid. Sweet f-all. It would have meant a hit to rock star income. So they did - nothing. In fact they’re out there now spreading the virus with abandon, to crowds of thousands. Our teenage culture is cradle to grave now. /end

The 5% figure is actually incorrect, as is the claim 95% was spent on weapons. The BBC apologised for broadcasting the stats. Just adding a correction.
