12. You're confusing "gesture" with "conviction."

You're confusing "gesture" with "conviction."

Also, if there's no coverage of this event, what specifically leads you to believe it would then receive coverage the previous day? "They" can ignore that as well should they desire.

But I get it... it's much more convenient to our complacency-justified-by-screaming-online to instruct others on what to do rather than to do it ourselves.

Let us know how your day of action goes!
