mehall posted:Surely you could guess from the obvious portmanteau. quote:Slacktivism (sometimes slactivism or slackervism) is a portmanteau of the words slacker and activism. The word is usually considered a pejorative term that describes "feel-good" measures, in support of an issue or social cause, that have little physical or practical effect, other than to make the person doing it feel satisfied that they have contributed. I don't recognise myself in that definition because I seek nor feel any satisfaction from contributing: I'm just a voter with opinions, not an activist of any sort.

It seems the point is to gain satisfaction from feeling like you're part of a movement without actually doing much - Like shouting about making a small charitable donation. Though I do gain satisfaction from successfully arguing a point in good faith, with sources where necessary. Not the same thing though, imo.

spectralent posted:This is a pattern. My Cornish* aunt visited us a few years ago, the first words out of her mouth on arriving were "Is that Muslim supposed to be there?" in an urgent, under-the-breath tone, indicating one of my neighbours who was standing in his garden smoking a fag. She's calmed down a little bit since then but still, when she visits London, refuses to take the tube or a minicab "Just in case...". She's going to be hosed when she realises that there are non-white black cab drivers. * She voted Leave because "The EU needs us more than we need them" and "They only invent these regulations to keep us down at their level". Her husband owns a company that sells agricultural supplies, and her son-in-law is an accountant who specialises in claiming and handling subsidies. The next few years are not going to be pleasant for her and I really try not to gloat. In her defence she was actually really pissed off with the UKIP refugees poster and thinks we should be taking in a lot more refugees, and had a right go about Cameron eulogising Nicholas Winton the day after fighting to reduce the amount of Syrian refugees we would take. goddamnedtwisto fucked around with this message at 19:53 on Mar 14, 2017 |

HJB posted:Was she expecting a couple of kids to knock on the door asking if they can have their Muslim back? How did I get [s] confused with [i]? Anyway, as far as I can tell, she thought he was either breaking into the house or, more likely given the horrified way she reacted when she found out her daughter and granddaughter had gone three stops on the tube, she thought any random Muslim was likely to explode at a moment's notice, like suicide bombing was a very specialised form of spontaneous combustion.

I don't know why you want me to see your grubby unpresentable face but you're certainly not seeing mine. Yes you look ridiculous and any other conclusion is due to the Dunning-Kruger effect.

Reminder the man reason that Farage lost in Thanet south was that he never showed up to any of the campaign events that were scheduled for him and when he did he was woefully uninformed about local issues and turned his base against him, to the point the UKIP county counsellors started to actively distance themselves from him. Things came to a head when he didn't show up to one event claiming to be ill, and then appeared that same night on the BBC.

So we get to wall London off and reintroduce 80s style travellers only more Archaos and Mutoid Waste Co. and less Rainbow Camp? Pretty sure that clotted cream doesn't need any input from that there London so it's only you Elites that'll miss out.

Do correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think I've seen British tangerines, or bananas, or basically any kind of fruit that isn't strawberries/blueberries/raspberries/apples/pears. I do buy mostly British things outside of that (and cheese, of course), though. Definitely 100% British meat/fish, and beer.
