It's today's short-attention-span way of claiming to care, while ignoring the actual problem, and taking no steps, nor ever having had any intention of taking steps to address the actual issue.
It's a sop.

Yep. I started to unfollow several people on my Facebook.
...
People want to stick their heads back up their ass after seeing some reality.
outside of gun forums, there's no connect with any social media . In that aspect, i'm one of the lucky ones.
But Hashtags will make the world a better place and the terrorists will stop #StopBeingMeanTerrorists Tweet, Retweet, ReTweet the ReTweet.
There, I did my part to stop them.
I have to go groom my hipster beard now, have a fabulous day.
I don't know, I really think we can have real #hopeandchange if we all use a tool to change our profile picture to the French flag and post pictures of the Eiffel tower and say we're going to pray for Paris despite not having prayed once in the last decade.
I have my flag at half mast.
This is essentially just manners. Nearly everyone on this site does the same exact thing when one of our own is having trouble with something in their lives. What does it say about ourselves when we are distressed by other people momentarily thinking of others besides themselves, for however brief it may be? Anyway, here is some more nicely packaged social media to spread around in an attempt to let others express our feelings for us. But first, here are is my grab a quote: "I would unite with anybody to do right, and nobody to do wrong." Frederick Douglass
Perhaps this one from Douglass more closely addresses this issue: "I prayed for twenty years but received no answer until I prayed with my legs." รข€‹

I'm all for expressing empathy and support for the victims of violence, but doing it in a trendy #hashtag manner accomplishes ZIP. Donate to relief organizations, donate time and labor to support our troops, fucking DO something, don't just change your profile pic and go back to stalking the Kardashians.
I deleted all of my social media accounts a couple months ago. I even went back and deleted my myspace account that I hadn't been on in 10 years. And it has been fantastic. I never realized how much time I wasted on social media, but now that it's all gone I have all kinds of time.

You're not alone. I was just posting for the sake of reposting for a 2nd (3rd?) time within the same thread. Oh the irony. It's almost at level: troll.Quote:

Imo it's more about how one feels than displays in public. It's like a bumper sticker i did years ago.
PATRIOTISM: More than just a Bumper Sticker.
