    I’ve seen people call it slacktivism, and I would like to clarify his point: knowing that there are countless people who feel just a strongly as you do about an issue is a necessary prerequisite to actually making a change.

      Exactly

      If you feel that you’re alone on an issue you’re less likely to stand up about it.

      And the more visibility an issue gets the more likely that the issue is gonna gain traction with passionate people who will put boots on the ground.
