    Look buddy, let me make this kindergarten simple:

    • Clicking “like” on protest posts = playing pretend revolution
    • Actually changing things = learning how stuff works and building better systems

      Actually, it’s made this one of the trending posts. Which means more people see it. Which… Can lead to important conversations.

      Also, the rise of the Nazi party happened because people allowed it to happen.

      Most folks tend to follow the herd. (Or the flock, if you prefer.)

      When people see that other people aren’t going to tolerate it…

      … That can help to spark/motivate others to actually organize … To lead to a movement.
