I guess part of it is that - the Russia thing lets people continue to be ****ing lazy.
I think by saying "Russia thing lets people continue to be lazy", you ought to mean "social media lets people continue to be lazy".
In the case of #BlackLivesMatter, they just needed to get the attention of the media to shame police departments into changing. The Russia thing is similar: they just need to get the attention of Congress (and until the Democrats gain a majority, the voters of the next election) well enough to express that they'd like to see Trump removed from office.
Is it really that people are lazier than they already were before, or just that social media has made slacktivism easier for larger numbers of people? And if so, why is that bad if it leads to some kind of change in areas where there didn't even used to be a pulse? (Ditto the sexual harassment stuff with my other two examples.)
