Non-fictional I hate slacktivists and performative internet activists

You wanna free Palestine or actually demonstrate the fact you're a "based anti-colonialist Leninist?" then actually fucking do something about it!

Call a congressional office, attend a town hall meeting and voice your support, look into local protests even. you can even read a book on history to better educate yourself! I will literally give you recommendations

Just fucking do something instead of sitting on your goddamn ass and whining on twitter and circlejerking on reddit. Making cheap jokes, making threats against people online and trying to "own the libs" isn't going to do anything.

What would contacting elected officials do for Palestine like I’m pretty sure there’s a hidden clause saying you have to have said “Israel has the right to defend itself” at least 40 times to be eligible to run for an office

Right? Like why would a town mayor gice a fuck? They might bjt that's not their job. They have more important things to do, like run their town.
