they tend to be rather gullible.

they wasted their time doing nothing concrete to help for a different reason than they originally thought.

I like this part:

A dog with a slice of ham on his face has raised an impressive 1.3 million prayers on Facebook, a generously distributed and worthless form of imaginary currency.
