“I feel torn. I want to be aware but being aware is very depressing. To those who balk and say we can’t stop fighting - I say “horse feathers”. Reading news and being keyboard warriors is NOT FIGHTING the evil. It’s merely sharing info with the choir and we are all at this point singing a mournful tune”
Very well put Dolly. On both aspects.
That is so right, Dolly.
Being keyboard warriors is not fighting the evil. I guess it is useful in some regard....many people, in fact most, have had their eyes opened and their thinking expanded because of what they’ve seen and read online, but it cannot stop there. It’s only useless if it stops there, and nothing further is done.
If you think about it, none of these protests (truckers, farmers, etc.) would be happening without having been planted, watered, and grown to fruition, online.
Lots of phone calls into reps and petitions and game-changing uprisings have started online.
So much happening around the world that spreads when people see it online.
The reason it was so good for Elon to purchase Twitter is that it allowed the truth to be launched about many things....the covid scam, the dangers of the vax, the corruption of so many, all exposed online.
It’s the communication that starts the ball rolling. Yes, sometimes depressing, but imagine if we didn’t have the forums to spread the truth and wake people up.
Sometimes people will do nothing (let’s face it, we’re not all in the position to do anything), but if it spurs people on to at least make phone calls to voice their opinions to those who are supposed to represent us (or send emails), then it’s a good thing.
