NEWSFLASH:; Slackers Thinking of Joining the Cause

It is just that actually having to do something is so not who they are, and besides they are too busy to take on one more thing. Slacktivism...Activists on Slack, rebels without a cause...hellbent for nowhere!

I have got to love a word that is one of the core attitudes in my backyard. SoCal is full of self-important nobodies that are so busy planning their life of over-commitment that they can't really be bothered with any of the 'REAL' parts of charitable work or ever doing the "right thing".

Unlike activist who get behind a cause, slacktivist just talk about getting behind a cause. They may go as far as actually scheduling to plan a time to get behind the cause. It's too bad that the second most popular trait in SoCal is flaking on any agreed upon whatever.

Doesn't matter that much unless one mentions the flake to the flake the next you meet, for then the flake will be offended. I would even go as far as saying most flakes would attempt to shame you for point out their no-show by telling you about the new totally enraptured cause they are now behind and were so wrapped up in it that your two's get together was over looked.

Now I see that slacktivism does not overrule flakiness...It is just another mask to show other flakes how important you are feeling today.
