Slactivism


a pejorative neologism combining ‘slacker’ and ‘activism,’ sometimes spelled ‘slacktivism.’ engaging socially in activism that requires little or no effort as part of a lifestyle or self-ident-ty. slactivism usually produces no appreciable results and often perpetuates poor research and hearsay.

2. jill thought of herself as an activist. she always h-t “like” on facebook whenever a social justice issue came up, and she was a part of several political action committee fan pages, but her friends knew her slactivism couldn’t be counted on to write congress or go beyond a few mouse-clicks.
the slacker’s form of activism. i.e. “we’ll protest the next war…”
jim wanted to sign the pet-tion, but couldn’t get off the couch. quintessential slactivism.
