      The people who tweeted this suck at Communication 101. You’ve gotta have a specific and clear call to action. Something like “Join this protest at XYZ” or “Demand your Congressman support ABC.”

      You can’t just say “Drop everything. Forget about your job and your kid’s education.” That’s not an effective message.

      Unless their point is we’re past the point of protests and political policies doing anything and we’re all gonna die. In which case, say that. “Drop everything and go die, cause we’re fucked.” You gotta be clear!

        I think part of the post is the implication that there is no more call to action, only a downward spiral that no action could solve.
