How does laughing at thing online dissolve/disarm the problems?

I'd say the opposite - it dissipates the anger and make people feel like they accomplished something, all the while the problem still exists and is getting formally entrenched via policy and legislation. But hey, we joked about it online, so all is well?

I don't have a specific problem in mind, BTW, just observing that the actual impact of online content is minimal. "Actions speak louder than words" is doubly true with online content.
