Activism

Posting incessantly large amounts of overly political and usually uneducated messages online, almost always unprovoked.

Contrary to popular belief, NOT related to actually taking any useful action in the world.

Person 1: "Guns are literally the only thing in human history that's been used to cause harm to another human."
Person 2: "Please just stop talking"
Person 1: "How DARE you? MY ACTIVISM IS IMPORTANT TO THE WORLD."

aka. P.M.G.; The generation within a particular family that is the most politically active

They also attend more political rallies, watch debates more often, and tend to vote more than their parents, grandparents, or their own children do. They are the politically active generation in the family.
