what experience are you citing here?

this comment is strange to me because all the online petitions i’ve participated in had some kind of outcome (they were all small scale and local, obviously we are not talking massive federal change or anything). and all of them very clearly had sections like “HEY DON’T STOP HERE” and then provided resources for further on-the-ground action or charities who could aid the situation. which people then did. and then change happened.

so like idk? im not saying your “conclusion from quite some time ago” is altogether false, but it’s certainly not representative of any whole or total reality.

im sure the psy-ops you theorize exist somewhere, but goodness gracious don’t write off every petition you see as some kind of malicious slacktivism campaign. look into it, talk to people. see for yourself, vote in the petition if you like, then do the activism whether it’s on the change.org site or not.
