CMV: (Ukrainian support) Thoughts and prayers, painting something blue/yellow, changing your Facebook frame to blue and yellow or any other method of showing support for the Ukraine that does not involve money is self-focused and bordering on narcissistic.

Thoughts and prayers are the useless whisperings of the morally bankrupt. 

It's only about "look at me!" I support the Ukraine. Ok, now what?? What does that do? You are wanting a pat on the back and you know it. If you want to tell people you support the Ukraine, great, if you want to do all of the things I listed, then great, but if you really want to help, donate money or time or something. Otherwise, your efforts only tell me that you need attention and that you are a good person and need validation. Action is what helps. Even if it's something tiny, it's something. 

I will certainly change my view, but I don't want the excuse of, "Well, I can't afford it." Everyone can afford a dollar. If you are hanging out on Reddit, gaming, buying a Starbucks, etc., you can afford a dollar. There are many ways to actively help. 

I just want some arguments about how tying a blue/yellow ribbon around your tree or praying helps. 

Thanks.

By making your support for Ukraine public you let your government know that their is no political risk to increasing the amount of political will and tax money spent on supporting Ukraine . The more people who show public support for Ukraine the more likely your politicians are to do things that actually support Ukraine.
