[QUOTE="FullThrottleTX, post: 1337396, member: 14432"] I think trying to do anything activism-wise on Twitter, Parlor, Gab, ect... this is a waste of time. Youtube is maybe a step up since you can at least see the person and know they're real. You have to have conversations with people in real life. That's how relationships are built. Online, anonymous, this is a garbage bin... Nothing will be achieved anonymously. Unfortunately, this has been lost with the younger folks. They think doing everything online is the way to go. I think this will backfire. Yes, we need to use the Internet to connect to people, but the goal should be implicitly local - to get people together. When I was 20 I was knocking on doors and having conversations with people in my neighborhood. I don't know if we are "there" yet, but it's interesting how much things diverged from reality. Reality now is 1% of the people on either side of the issues who tweet about it. Most people are moderate actually, the silent majority. [/QUOTE]
