Liberals put a very high value on awareness of problems yet distrust people that want to do something about them.
As the official pod puts it, liberals live in a world full of victims but no victimizers
I wouldn't put it like that, it's more that they don't see doing nothing as political, and consider being aware of the problem or even minor donations as a sufficiently positive action.
I just had flashbacks of Kony 2012
I still think of that from time to time
it was the greatest presidential campaign in history
Its nice that she became a supreem court justice.
I was off the Internet in 2012. What's Kony 2012?
Some warlord in Africa named Kony and there was this huge viral campaign to like, make people aware that he existed? I think he was already out of power by the time it got going or something. Really weird
Uganda even said "we don't really need your help, we got this", Kony was so inactive at the time, many believed he was already dead. And he never rose again, the Lord's Resistance Army is all but eradicated.
Huh odd
This is a pretty good rundown.
no more half measures walter
liberals: the symptoms are bad, but the causes are so good
Did someone say Jon Oliver?
