Maybe I’m being unclear, I’m saying it’s not possible to know who is doing brick-adjacent activism if they’re not posting about it and you’re not there to see it.

Maybe I’m being unclear, I’m trying to say that the amount of people making political statements about X problem or Y issue on social media dwarfs the amount of activism. It’s not at all a new fact that social media activism has largely replaced activism. My argument is that people consider their work done when they make a post. It’s like a scheduled, permitted weekend march that largely gets over-documented on social media and used for clout/profile building. It’s a real problem. I’m not calling anyone here anything, I was making the point that posting on “aboringdystopia” about activism that largely doesn’t happen anymore was ironic because of this problem of social media posturing replacing effective activism.
