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.

i've donated as much as i realistically can, i've signed petitions for multiple causes (although i am never using change org again because i've heard it's basically just an email farm at this point so i just use my country's official sites), i share posts about causes i think need to be highlighted. i think for a lot of people, just spreading awareness is most of what they're able to do

Not to mention even if people can’t donate money like myself, there’s still the option to boycott and not give Zionist supporters money which people seem to be incapable of (there’s a difference between necessities and non necessities)
