Don’t Just Be An Armchair Warrior

FROM the comfort of my own chair, I've gotten to the end of the day feeling like l've accomplished so much when in fact, all I've done is talk (and virtual talk at that!)

You see, getting onto social media and saying rah, rah, rah! You're right and what the government is doing is wrong, makes me feel better; makes me feel like I'm part of the solution; but if that's all I do, it accomplishes nothing.

Social media has so many benefits, but one of its downsides - and perhaps one of the many reasons why participation in these outlets is openly encouraged by so many businesses and governments (aside from the purposes of data mining and financial gain) is that it keeps information quickly, efficiently and with little government interference (Twitter and Facebook being the notable exceptions with censorship and algorithm fiddling constantly suppressing anti-government and anti-corporate interest posts), but on the other hand, they keep us in front of our computers and off the street.
