Anyone else ever sit back and think about all the protests people do by changing their profile trim on facebook or putting up a blank picture to protest something on facebook? These 0 effort things?
Do people actually think this does anything? Or any change.org petition for that matter.
I've come to the conclusion that any protest that you can do from the comfort of your own home, aka about 99% of all protests in the West these days, are simply to make the "protestor" feel better about themselves. I honestly can't remember a single protest that was social media based that did anything unless the protest turned into something physical and out in the real world.
