On Slacktivism
By Christopher Munroe
A public service announcement: Nobody’s mind has ever been
changed about any issue based on a political meme they saw on Facebook.
Everyone, on some level, understands this, yet we keep
posting and reposting the damn things as though they helped illustrate any sort
of point.
Actual news articles are okay.
And people who I DO agree with politically? This is directed
at you too.
You think you’re making a difference, with your cartoons and
re-captioned screen-grabs. You think you’re contributing to the debate.
I understand that, it’s just that you’re not.
You’re not contributing to anything.
You’re just Mass-debating.
