received an e-mail from a friend about a virtual protest for climate change and I just don't understand how someone could/ or why someone would organize a virtual protest when you could organize a real one. How will a virtual march create impact? I mean, how can it have an impact if no one is seeing it in its entirety?
When people get off their asses and move their physical weight around on the streets, cops get nervous, politicians see it, and people see it....the effects of a mass of people is just as integral to the march as the amount of people marching. Can a virtual march create a ripple that's similar to real, physical mass- a mass of people moving in the streets? The people participating can't even see who else is joining them! Someone please respond- what do you think of this idea?
I put the link below if anyone wants to check it out and give some commentary. Of course I'm not a complete asshole so please sign-up for the protest if you're inclined.
