Facebook Activism 

The illusion of dedication to a cause through no-commitment awareness groups. Specifically in reference to Facebook groups centered around political issues.

Dave: Man, this genocide in Darfur is terrible. I sure wish I could make a difference.

Jenna: Well, I made a facebook group about it. We have almost one million members!

Dave: That's great! Are you all going to donate money to refugees or something?

Jenna: No, but now those murderers will really know how sad we are!

Dave: Sounds like you're really into your Facebook activism!

facebook activist 

Self Righteous individual that thinks forwarding Facebook pics with captions constitutes a real effort to assist their chosen cause(s).

Your cousin, the Vegan, is a retard. He thinks he is changing people's minds when he forwards those animal pics, but he's really just a facebook activist. Please pass me some more delicious bacon.
