Comment on Are you not entertained?
FridaySteve@lemmy.world 6 hours agoI really don’t think you’re being fair. I was in chanology in Clearwater, Arab Spring in Rabat, the second Penguin Revolution in Santiago de Chile, and countless major demonstrations in support of worker rights and LGBT community issues all over the world. When I come on the internet (as I’ve done since 1994), I don’t want to endlessly talk about politics with the normies here. I want to talk about normie topics like cooking, cats, sports, and Taylor Swift. I save my outrage for real world actions.
According to you, I’m practicing an attitude of acceptance with regard to the state of the world because that’s all you see and hear from me. What do you think that says about your worldview and your outlook on people?

You’re right, it is unfair of me to write these people off. Slacktivism is no substitute for real activism.
It’s just disheartening, weird, and scary seeing everyone repost the same instagram post like little worker bees.
