So... I'll leave the subject of leadership there and move onto the problem of virtuality.
Effective resistance requires concrete action. And concrete action is always hyper-local. It can be organized and incited through communication channels, but it cannot stop there. That's not a resistance.
But social media (and 'the medium is the message' theory) has led us to believe that posting a protest on a platform IS action.
It isn't. Action is embodied. It is concrete. It means physical change. 8/
