Passive spam is basically a Facebook or other social network post that has a completely pointless call to action. The defining factor is that the quiz or question is not meant to offer any type of challenge, but instead is simply a tool to arbitrarily increase page reach.
Passive spam consists of stupid quiz-like questions on Facebook that either require some small amount of math or analytical skills (in order to make the people responding feel intelligent...even though they aren't)
Also, the classic "like or my grandmother will die" type posts. In this context the spammer is using the person's good nature to accomplish their goals instead of the person's desire to answer a question (that usually is incredibly simple to figure out).

Get the Passive Toxicitymug. When someone says something that could be interpreted as passive-aggressive, but it's not very aggressive and more just passively hopeful => passive-hopeful.
"Well I don't have a car so that wouldn't work. If someone with a car were to go though, I'd definitely tag along!"
"Wow, so passive-aggressive."
"Nah, just passive-hopeful!"
"Wow, so passive-aggressive."
"Nah, just passive-hopeful!"

Get the passive-hopefulmug. If you want to say the guy is short dicked that's one thing. If he's Asian or Irish, that's more of an observation than an insult. But saying somebody is passive and soft and making it a combination of three words instead of one or two to get somebody's attention isn't something everybody gets a free pass to do, so hopefully you're not passive or soft yourself if you're saying something like that of somebody else.

Get the Passivemug. Not glorifying passive culture means simply not examining/implying power of anything based on race, gender, sexuality, or wealth
In America, they argue countlessly of Trump vs Biden, Left vs Right, Woke vs Racist, Straight vs Gay. Here, we never argue about that, it's passive culture, and Putin and Xi never laugh at us.

Get the Passive culturemug. Referring to going into passive mode in the rockstar blockbuster title GTA 5 which grants the person who selected it the ability to not be harmed by anyone attacking them at the price that they can not inflict damage upon anyone else as well.
This is referencing someone who has beef with someone but is hiding from the heat and avoiding conflict even though they created the issue by screwing someone over in the first place.
The person that went into passive is scared for their life and most likely went to the police to avoid being caught by the opposition they started conflict with.
