I understand your point, but at the same time, not everyone is capable of being a Ghandi or a MLK. Just the same, not everyone WANTS to be that. Yes, if someone expects that just liking a post will change the world, then they are mistaken. But that doesn't make their "like" or appreciation for the post any less valid.
Even if they aren't willing to go out and do something, it doesn't make it a crime to repost something and then just sit there. People have, can, and will always do that. Is it a problem? Not exactly, but it also isn't necessarily the soultion.
There are a select few who ACTUALLY make a major difference - and honestly, I doubt you're one of them. Not many people are. Activists are obviously doing more than internet "activists" - complete respect to them, including you - but we also can't expect everyone who agrees with a certain movement to legitametly be part of it. Sadly, thing's just don't tend to work out that way.
It is normal I'm sick of internet activists?
