Have you ever been a part of ‘hashtag activism?’
I am sure that I have.
This comic brings to light how easy it is to hit ‘like,’ share a hashtag, or update your avatar and think that the world has been dramatically changed by these simple acts.
However, while we must keep this semi-actionless ‘hashtag activisms’ in check, sometimes this is all we can afford to do. This comic is an entirely negative and pessimistic view of social media activism.
Sometimes it’s this small, simple act that spreads the word and educates those around us that ultimately—in the sums of many—makes a difference in our world.
Let this comic be a reminder that there is room for us to act organically in addition to acting digitally.
