How does hashtag activism distinguish itself from “real” activism?
What will be an ideal response?
The primary distinction is virality and ephemerality of social media. There is the
representation of solidarity that suggests that anyone could be represented as either
respectable and innocent or violent and criminal--depending on the staging of the social
media. Whereas “real” activism requires a performative action at the site or location of
contention.
