Posting about politics on social media changes exactly zero. In the end you will only have people with the same opinion as yours around you which distorts your world view. If you really want to get involved, you should start with your local community and make things better in your hometown. You can't change country-wide politics.

Well you can share the same message you just shared on social media. Suddenly many people with the same ideals can improve their community all over. Sounds like great impact to me.

Isn’t that basically Russia

Care to explain what you mean here? Getting involved in local community is where you can make a difference in your and your loved ones lives. Voting in local elections is INFINITELY more important than general elections and it is not even close… Not sure what Russia has to do with that?

You have to use Google Translate or something, because the page is unavailable in other languages.

The key point is that Russian activists have been trying to influence the large scale politics locally since about 1880 to zero effect.

it's not about changing anything, but it can make a difference if people notice that x amount of people or people xyz they care about are not actually apolitical bots, but do have opinions and values.
