Promoting real civic engagement rather than slacktivism or hashtivism. |
The essence of slacktivism is the sensation that you've accomplished something of political impact when you've done nothing. |
For all the negative talk about slacktivism, people are failing to recognize that there is actually a huge response coming from the community. |
Does slacktivism make the world a happier place? |
Most critics acknowledge that there is a political core in slacktivism, even if it may be very well hidden. |
So now, as a leader of an organisation whose mission is to advocate for a specific and underserved population, I find it beyond frustrating that slacktivism is more common than true activism or advocacy. |
