#Slacktivism

If you think diseases are dumb, share this post. If you think bullies shouldn't bully, like my stupid picture. Hey EVERYONE on social media. Please fucking stop with the fake activist posts on your stupid, unfunny, nobody-gives-a-shit profiles. I don't want to get off on a rant here but being an "armchair activist" does about as much good and gets about as much done as doing absolutely nothing at all. You really think sharing a post because you think cancer sucks is going to cure the disease? Oh and way to break new ground there fucko. You don't like cancer? Man, now what am I going to get you for your birthday? There's a term that was coined a few years back when all of this shitstorm started: Slacktivism, i.e: The act of pretending to do something whilst actually not doing a fucking thing but it looks like you did even though you didn't because you're a lazy, fat, stupid shitbird who likes to travel in packs and can't take the time to actually sacrifice time, money or social standing and take a chance to make sure something actually gets done. Damn, Webster is getting quite verbose with their definitions lately. So keep sharing your pictures of ribbons to promote awareness while thinking that's where actual activism and social change happen because while you're doing that, other people are actually physically doing something to change the world. You know what I mean? Physically? That's doing something that has tangible meaning and effect. Not left-clicking the thumbs-up because your great aunt on your step mom's half brother's side of the family once had a benign mole removed so you "totally get what it means to survive cancer". Last time I checked, reaching "500 shares" won't cure a disease. "1000 likes" won't get your glasses-wearing nerd of a son to stop being bullied at school. And stop with the awareness ribbons. I am well-aware that Autism exists. You putting a fucking magnet on your car does not all of a sudden make the world aware. As Kramer said when he refused to wear the AIDS ribbon, "you talk the talk but I walk the walk". OR this all for charity awareness and who am I to criticize as long as nobody gets hurt. But I digress...
