hashtag

If you believe that you're doing will positive results, it will - even if it's not immediately obvious.

The problem is not in the hashtag; the problem lies in the idea that one__ contribution in spreading said hashtag ends their responsibility towards that particular issue. It is a way of clearing our conscience towards the true atrocities happening around us, because in that moment that we send out a supportive post into the world of the web we set the notion that we are somehow absolved of our sins, for silence is a sin and the hashtag breaks that silence.
