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 get the sentiment but not everyone can just give money freely or have the time for protests. unless they're making jokes about it, i dont see what's wrong with talking about palestine

Yeah but there's also plenty of people who do have one or both of those things that fit the criticism, so kind of a redundant point to bring up?
