With all the bad stuff happening around the world at the moment, now is the time that we must band together as global citizens and act. From a non-stop procession of mass shootings to endless wars to police violence to terrorist attacks to innocent people being shot on live TV, there’s only one way to start combating these atrocities and making a better world for future generations:

We must flash the peace sign more.

The two finger salute.

The peace sign often gets discredited for not actually doing anything in creating peace, but I know differently. I’ve seen peace signs stop tanks in their tracks. I’ve seen peace signs change the minds of genocidal dictators. Hell, I’ve seen peace signs stop bullets in mid-air.

And the real beauty of the peace sign is how simple it is to do. I’ll break it down for you in 8 easy steps:

  1. Put your dominant hand out like you’re gonna high five a dad at a sporting event.
  2. Touch your thumb to your palm.
  3. Touch your pinky to your thumb.
  4. Touch your ring finger to thumb and your pinky.
  5. OPTIONAL: turn your wrist 180 degrees.
  6. Get as many photos taken of you as possible.
  7. Upload these photos to as many social media platforms as possible.
  8. Congrats, you’re now creating peace across the globe.

And not only is it simple to do, it’s also free. No more need to enroll in an expensive and time-consuming PhD program to help settle the unrest fomenting across the globe and making our world a living hell for billions of people. And everyone can do it. See for yourself!

If you’re a normie, you can do it.

Double points for flashing peace sign with the Christian earrings. She cares about social justice.

If you’re a celeb, you can do it.

Hell yeah, Kirstie.

If you’re a video game character you can do it.

Love Mario so much for this.

If you’re a celeb and a video game character you can do it.

LiLo and the digital likeness that she sued over gets it.

If you’re a stock model you can do it.

Uncle Sam hat and the peace sign. Love ya 3457573.

If you’re 2 Chainz you can do it.

2 Chainz aka Tity Boi

If you’re a group of Japanese youth you can do it.

So much peace about to happen.

I mean, I think I’ve laid it all out here. Just follow the 8 simple steps and start making the world a much better place. With how fucked up the world is right now, I think you can at least give it a shot.
