meazza Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Who is michelle directing it exactly? She's the wife of the most powerful man in the world. Shouldn't she mention it to him over dinner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TakeYouToTasker Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Posting a picture of yourself on twitter is not the same thing as actually doing anything to solve a problem, though it's sadly become an acceptable substitute, largely because it's easier and doesn't require any real action, initiate, thought, compassion, or work.

B-Man Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 AN UNSYMPATHETIC LOOK AT hashtag diplomacy. It would be different if they were good at it. #BRINGBACKOURBALLS: “It is hard not to have total contempt for a political culture that thinks the picture at right is a useful contribution to rescuing 276 schoolgirls kidnapped by jihadist savages in Nigeria,” Mark Steyn writes. “Yet some pajama boy at the White House evidently felt getting the First Lady to pose with this week’s Hashtag of Western Impotence would reflect well upon the Administration. The horrible thing is they may be right: Michelle showed she cared — on social media! — and that’s all that matters, isn’t it?” Read the whole thing™.

B-Man Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Of course this doesn't address root causes, but that's what liberalism is all about -- feeling good and morally superior about yourself even if the results are zero. But hashtag activism lets people believe they are accomplishing something by raising awareness and showing their concern, so they can get back to important things like tweeting what they are eating or where they are standing in line. It's as bad as "Gun Free Zones". Maybe they should post "No Kidnapping Zone" signs. That should fix the problem. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
