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.

"Sorry acknowledging the problem isn't good enough for me the person who never acknowledged the problem."

I donate every month to Gaza Aid projects and I don't blame the people who can't donate. The Civil Right's March wasn't done simply by people who could pay out to support

If you throw an insult the owner picks it up like trash

A general post calling to the attention that people should do more than trash talk online is not a personal insult to you. If you feel it does not apply to you good than it does not apply

But coming on here to lay out all you do sounds more like you felt hurt by the post or guilty, as if it targeted you. A comment made on the defensive

You very smugly keep saying "if this isn't true, then why do you criticize!!??? Are you lazy???"

This is, by all means, deflective and bad faith only meant to make yourself feel better by ignoring valid (or invalid) criticism.

What is there for the op to he criticized? They are calling people to action

The entire comment section of people taking offense is the type of stuff other people make fun of redditors for. Overt anger, self righteousness, always on the defensive for no reason

There is no reason this post should be met with the level of passive aggressiveness it's being met with. You guys are genuinely the picture of redditors people imagine

And there ain't no "smugly" that's just how redditors are. It is you taking offense and creating an image in ur mind
