A Boring Dystopia

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.
