My point is that these situations don't give the opportunity to ALSO be Kind.
Yes, it's better if you donate your time/money to a worthwhile cause than just tweet about. It's better if you vote for a politician that fixes the issue.
But in the moment, facing the opportunity to spread awareness about a plight, isn't sharing awareness better than not? In that circumstance, that person is being "ONLY Nice, not kind", but there is no indication that the same person isn't also being kind.
On Twitter, I do plenty of tweeting about a plight from within my echo chamber. But I also donate thousands of dollars to worthwhile charities in the same fight. I don't tweet about that, because ironically, that WOULD be purposeless virtue signaling, without any benefit except my ego. But spreading awareness about a plight I think is important might inspire someone else to do the same contribution I make.
