Instead of showing everyone that you are aware of all the injustice out there and doing jack-shit about it anyway, be aware of all the injustice within your home, within your neighborhood, within your group of friends, co-workers or your very family, and try to do something about that. It’s easy to post a link about something happening ten thousand miles away and feeling good about yourself because there’s no consequences for you getting involved because (surprise) you’re not actually getting involved. Unless you’re flying all the way to Africa or whatever and volunteering to a non-profit organization giving up the life you might have had back in whatever country you’re from, you’re just showing off how much a compassionate, well-meaning special-snowflake human being you are to the rest of your social networking buddies to get pats in the back. Don’t pretend you don’t have problems within your fucking perimeter. Give away the clothes you don’t need, give food to your local shelter, adopt a dog, I don’t know, fucking do something here! If we all worried about the things we can fix instead of the things we pretend we can fix, the world would be a much better place. Okay, that’s it.
