> A reply on social media is taking a stand?
No. I only said that spreading information that there is dissent does not require taking to the street.
Interacting on social media is sometimes like shouting into the void. Taking it to the street has a certain visceral nature to it.
How much time and energy does it take to hit the like button on a post? How much time and energy does it take to physically protest? The magnitude of dissent is legible in the mode of dissent. How ticked off must a guy be to go protest in negative 20 degree weather?
