As much as I agree with the message that forcing children to act as soldiers is atrocious, I strongly disagree with their proposition that anyone who is not acting to prevent it is actually propping up the injustice.
That argument doesn't scale. Devote literally 100% of your waking hours to helping child soldiers, and you're still an asshole because you don't care about your carbon footprint... to pick one example out of the thousands of things worth caring about.
Just because you're frustrated at the sheer number of things that need to be dealt with doesn't mean that those concerns aren't valid.
Is there global issue that can't be solved by a witty youtube video produced by insulated white Americans? You hear that, Africa! Your children should be in enrolled at your local suburban high school! Knives are wrong! Shame on you!
It's not really insightful to critique an issue ad for not itself solving the issue it's raising awareness for. You could apply the same superficial analysis to any awareness ad.
I do.
So, you do something superficial and annoying, and then your defense is that you do it a lot. Well played!
No, I consistently am not moved by status-posturing awareness spending. Truth isn't a marketing expense, and I don't appreciate having my opinions manipulated by advertising regardless if the advertisement's goal is ethical, logical, or true.
