Slacktivism
- ncasenmare 13y agoGreat point about slacktivism being due of a lower barrier to supporting a cause. However, I doubt that a higher barrier would cause the "slacktivists" to engage more, rather than just not engage at all anymore. Maybe one day microdonations (Flattr/CentUp/Gittip) will help lower the barrier to actually donating to a cause. To the point where donating is as easy as hitting a Like button.
- losethos 13y agoLiberals are proud when they give to charity -- almost never happens. We conservatives tithe and hate them. I give $800 every 6 months. Jesus said you lose your reward if you tell everybody. God says... shall be. 13:20 And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days. 13:21 And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not: 13:22 For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect. 13:23 But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things. 13:24 But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, 13:25 And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken.
