So what. Some random facts: The CIA did very bad things in Guatemala, Shell did very bad things in Nigeria, Nestle did very bad things in Venezuela. Those are just 3 small examples. Many people know. But nothing happens.
Twitter is not going to change the world. You have to take action.
- Periodic 17y agoTwitter is good for feeling like you're taking action. Every tweet can be its own mini-protest. Only I expect that a bunch of people chatting on the Internet is a lot less menacing than picketers, rallies and demonstrations.

- raganwald 17y agoI could just as easily make the same point about newspapers, radio, television, email, pamphlets, letters, and any other form of communication. Talking about action is not the same thing as action, but it often precipitates or supports action.
- pbhjpbhj 17y agoI don't buy from Shell (Myanmar) or from Nestle (baby-milk) ... I don't know about the CIA. Sometimes I don't have a choice, I'm not militant about it - also I can't be as ethical as I'd like with my shopping as we're poor; but money talks.
