I had an idiot on Facebook tell me our demonstration in support of teachers, unions, and working people was 'slacktivist crap.' He told me he preferred direct action to 'slacktivism.'
I pointed out that pretending to fight child abuse by changing ones Facebook profile picture to a cartoon character from your childhood was an example of slacktivism. And that taking to the streets to show support for unions and working people was an example of direct action in action.
He didn't appreciate me educating him on the difference between direct action and slacktivism, so he called me a fat coward and said he wished I would die. Young people, some of them are just too ungrateful to be believed.

I think he needs a dictionary or a thesaurus or something. He doesn't seem to understand the words he uses.
What could be more direct-action oriented than taking to the streets?
"Slacktivism" is critiquing, via Facebook, other people's direct actions.
I wish I could actively slap people on facebook.
we do what we can when we can with what we have.
What an idiot.
