i think the worst part about "internet activism" is people who share the worst pieces of news possible and don't have anything to say besides "we're fucked" or "we're so cooked lmao"

shut up

shut the fuck up

it literally does nothing to actually positively affect things (no ideas for a plan forward, no call to action), and tanks morale. stop doing it!

yep

I personally think incredibly vague calls for too-risky-for-anyone-to-actually-be-willing-to-start violent revolution type stuff is just as bad. So much "we're so cooked burn it all down" instead of actually thinking through the sorts of things that can have an effect

(Maybe because said actionable things are bureaucratic and not romantic, like campaigning in local elections)

It's especially infuriating, because we all (should) know that that's almost always the point of the actions in the news. The people out there making society worse do it to make you feel helpless, so that you'll accept their extremist non-solutions. The scale doesn't matter, from organized crime in local neighborhoods to national political parties subverting courts, they want you to trust people less and consider joining their nonsense as a legitimate route forward...

I imagine these people as Doomguy in that one comic where he turns out to be the demon for realsies except instead of "rip and tear" they say "post and share"
