tj (i make it past the end)"Thinkers like Jean-Paul Sartre and Hannah Arendt warned us that the point of this deluge is not to persuade, but to overwhelm and paralyze our capacity to act. More recently, researchers have found that the viral outrage disseminated on social media in response to these ridiculous claims actually reduces the effectiveness of collective action. The result is a media environment that keeps us in a state of debilitating fear and anger, endlessly reacting to our oppressors instead of organizing against them."

i appreciate the point being made here but also want to note that this is not (from my perspective) disabled inclusive. there are plenty of people who are doing work that can only be done online/through technology and that shouldn't be discounted because all people are needed in order to create change. so i appreciate this point but i want to point out i don't agree with the entire article and am sharing just so you can read for yourself if you so choose
