    Not really? Calling to action helps facilitate action, wishcasting is like saying I really hope Maduro doesn’t get executed. Hopes do nothing, actions do.

      You’re hoping that your call to action actually results in action. Without the action it is exactly the same as far as real world consequences are concerned.

        Sure, but wishcasting doesn’t have any call to action, and remaining silent doesn’t have that same facilitative effect. The first step is rallying the people, the second is action.
