It just seems dumb to put this much effort into standing against this when there’s so much more and bigger to stand against.
Why is this a trade off, in your eyes? Why can’t people do both, and why does not watching something count as effort when there’s more media out there right now than we could watch in our lifetimes?

The problem is that social media algorithms thrive on engagement, and the fastest way to further that engagement is hate. Spending all day on the internet banging on about various fashionable causes, may make you feel good but it rarely changes much at all. If you want to change the world, it’s better to get off the internet, and spend time in your community making real tangible changes. If you spend too much time on the internet, it’s likely you’ll forsake the former.
