Instagram Stories Proven to Solve Social Justice Issues, According to Study
A spectre haunts the right, the spectre of pink and turquoise Instagram stories.
According to a new NPR study, informational Instagram posts shared by thousands of users is one of democracy and justice’s most outstanding line of defence.
While protesters burned Minneapolis’ Police Department’s 3rd Precinct, user @jamie_1312 posted a bright, informative “Hello Kitty ACAB” aesthetic slideshow titled “How to End Police Brutality.” After viewing this, 127 officers of the MPD resigned and joined the protests, citing her slideshow as the cause.
“These viral posts demonstrate the power of Gen Z’s voice on social media. By measuring these instances, we can perfectly measure their efficacies through liberal metrics … The couch is the center of activism.”
There are many more examples, like Charlie Slack, 17, who managed to get Exxon to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 75% after posting “What to do about the Climate Apocalypse.”
One only needs to look at Wednesday’s events to see how Instagram stories quell even a right-wing coup led by Vikings, cops, and others with sincere displeasure towards democracy. Watching the rampage unfold, Kathy Lull quickly wrote-up “Coups: What They Are and How to Fight Them” shared by 75,000. An hour after the unrest, CNN presented her as “The Savior of the Capital.”
