      Sure, but rumors have it there are people that go out and actually touches grass between their slacktivism sessions.

        It really helps that increasingly the internet just feels shittier and shittier so people actually WANT to “touch grass”.

      I mean, “nobody wants to work anymore!”… Maybe you’re just repeating buzzwords because the blind repetition is comforting enough to help you feel sure about an unsure world? Maybe you’ve long since stopped questioning the meaning of these catchphrases and their perceived validity before you plainly parrot them, as designed.

      How about people actually do shit, take action in real live, and then they supplement that with additional online activism. I’m out marching, I’m picketing, I’m supporting unions, I’m researching candidates and their funding and I’m voting. I’m educating younger people who are curious and welcoming back misled friends and family when they wake to the tactics of conservatives and realize they need to stop refraining or voting against their best interest.
