What a FAKE!

"Something bad has happened, I must show the world I care!!!" What a bucket of poo. I found this article PREACHING on the fact that people are becoming fake political activists on social media. When 244 school girls went missing in Nigeria, thousands of people went to social media and displayed their "outrage". It sounds get and all but it only lasted about two weeks. Many people like to hop on the political activist train when they feel like the issue is a "hot topic". However, it only shows the easy it is for some social media users to lose interest on important issues. People tweet and post on issues going on everyday, but that does not mean they truly care. There are millions who post about protests or awareness or tragic information that is happening in the world but who really cares? A week or even days later you will not hear about it from them anymore. Unless there is a movement going on that makes the headlines, then your social network won't be filled with political activists.
