Be outraged everyday, or not at all.
- Borogravia 13y agoYes, unless you devote your every waking moment to activism on behalf of causes you believe in, you're just a poser who doesn't really care. Social media chest-beating is kind of silly, for sure, but big moments for an issue, like the George Zimmerman acquittal or Jenny McCarthy getting hired by The View, help push that issue into greater prominence for society. Because of the Zimmerman acquittal, people who might not otherwise do so are thinking about race, gun control and justice. Because of Jenny McCarthy and the accompanying furor, people might actually read an article or two about the dangers of pseudo-science.
