This is personal for a lot of people. We've never seen anything like this.
These aren't just random comments on the internet, community is meaningful, this is a person standing up in a stadium of millions of people they consider allies/friends/confidants speaking their painful truth and getting a a roar of applause and cheers and support.
This is going to be in textbooks one day
#OccupyWallSt didn't have Robinhood accounts and their figurative drum circle has gotten a LOT bigger thanks to the open internet.
And to be clear, I don't think it started that way, online movements (like offline movements) evolve and take on a life of their own... Roaring Kitty just saw an opportunity to strike when hedgefunds somehow shorted 130% of the shares of a co w potential
But that was the small snowball that kept picking up speed (and size) as it was rolling down the hill. You can't predict any of this stuff, but when the dots got connected, some people start projecting their mindset, why they're a part of it and that evolves for everyone else.
Like 13 years ago a random Greenpeace poll to name a whale caught the eye of someone on Reddit to vote up Mr Splashy Pants (and then it got the attention of lots of other people... and that's my TED talk, actually) https://www.ted.com/talks/alexis_ohanian_how_to_make_a_splash_in_social_media/transcript?language=en
We vote with 2 things in the USA: votes & dollars
The internet has obviously had a huge impact on our democratic process. Now we're seeing the impact it's having when the internet revolutionizes the dollar-votes, too.
