#Social Movement

Activism is the art of waving the banner of justice while fervently refreshing a Twitter feed. Its practitioners bombard hashtags under the guise of changing the world, yet often find themselves riding the emotional rollercoaster of retweets and likes. They may stand on soapboxes decrying societal ills, all while carefully curating their own moral brand. It's a delicate skill to vilify the system without antagonizing one’s own social graph. In the end, activism is a public performance balancing noble ideals and personal affirmation.

Anti-racism is the dual performance of proclaiming judgment-free evaluation regardless of skin color while turning a blind eye to one’s own unconscious biases. Its thunderous calls for justice often serve as ceremonial garb preserving personal privilege. Those who claim to love diversity frequently silence dissenting perspectives in the boardroom. The louder the symbol of justice, the more one tends to bind others in silent chains to protect it. The higher the ideal raised, the more concrete actions fade into ambiguity, a paradoxical masterpiece.
