> A reply on social media is taking a stand?

No. I only said that spreading information that there is dissent does not require taking to the street.

How much time and energy does it take to hit the like button on a post? How much time and energy does it take to physically protest? The magnitude of dissent is legible in the mode of dissent. How ticked off must a guy be to go protest in negative 20 degree weather?

Interacting on social media is sometimes like shouting into the void. Taking it to the street has a certain visceral nature to it.
