3 months agoI don’t do ANYTHING on twitter other than occasionally click on a post by a local sports guy when I get a notification. Literally EVERYTHING else in my feed is right wing political non-sense. The extent of my interactions were hitting block early on, and when I realized that did nothing to give their “algorithm” a clue that I wasn’t interested I just started ignoring it entirely.
But like, why don’t you go and blow up an oil rig? Or dump paint on an Oil execs car? Or protest directly outside of their house? Sure this sort of thing grabs headlines, but does literally nothing for the cause. If anything it builds momentum AGAINST your cause because you’re making people who don’t have a horse in the race (whether they should or not) think your entire group is dead set on destroying works of art.
