On socials the content is a behavioural trigger, you simply are pressing the same button countless times. You may feel like you are finding connections but primarily your engagement is the key behaviour, for example you are not involved in real change. You are involved in real behaviours though. There can be connections to real events yet they also aren’t driving real change. You have to ask yourself how can real change be achieved?

After the Tiananmen Square riots the Chinese government made reforms to the red tape that was crippling Chinese businesses and that was a change that helped people make wealth from their ventures. In western culture you can demonstrate as much as you want but the system won’t change. You can demonstrate week in and week out but nothing will make a difference to the issues driving the dissent. Maybe in the past changes happened but they weren’t threatening to change the trajectory of the system.
