Social Media Has Infected Millennials With False Hope
9th August 2018
Slacktivism is an urban term referring to the sense of participating in a cause just to feel good with no actual actions taken to fight the problems. This is occurring among millennials. They see a hashtag trending on social media about a social issue, they use it in a tweet that gets a lot of attention, and they feel like their work is done; they never seek out actions to solve the problem.
They mistake Virtue Signaling for actually Doing Something Constructive.
Doomed to failure. Suicide rates will be going up in the next ten years or so.
(Not that there’s anything wrong with that.)
