Booktivism

Booktivism (n) is the act of posting meme after meme on Facebook with the intent to promote awareness of a preferred political ideology or the wrongs of society in general, all the while sitting in your underwear in front of your computer. Antonyms: Activism, Going Outside.

Ex. 1: From the tome of Booktivism: "Hey, I posted 12 cleverly captioned images detailing how the current leaders are all coming for our things. You should be motivated to do something about it in a way that I will neither suggest or promote."

Ex. 2: Person: "Did you see all those things I posted about the failings of that guy's political initiatives?"

Person 2: "Did you go to your city council meetings or lobby your representatives to do something about it?"

Person: "No, but I-"

Person 2: "Did you rally people to join together in support of a better alternative or conduct a writing campaign to inform your community?"

Person: "No, but I-"

Person 2: "Have you even gone outside in the last week or walked around your neighborhood to meet new people?"

Person: "I scored the longest word on Words with Friends."

Person 2: "You're such a booktivist. Get a life."

pat yourself on the backtivism 

The brand of political or social activism that involves doing nothing meaningful whatsoever except for completely useless gestures, "discussing the issues" with people who already share your point of view, and flooding Facebook with activism posts.

The whole point of which is simply to make sure everyone else in the world knows how tolerant and great you are and how shitty and tolerant they aren't, while actually not making any difference whatsoever.

That Tiffany girl who is always posting 10 times a day on Facebook about how society is controlled by anti-gay, anti-feminist, anti-immigrant, poverty-hating white guys gets drunk four nights a week on her parent's dime, and sleeps around while skipping half of the classes in her Development Studies major. She's never actually contributed to the betterment of society in any meaningful way. But pat yourself on the backtivism means she still thinks she's a better person than everyone else.

Bootieism 

A budding philosophy with key concept of transfer of luck through anal coitus. During the act luck is balanced out like heat energy always flowing from the person with good luck to the person with bad luck.

She has really bad luck, guy who took her anal cherry ended up in a wheelchair.

Such is a cruel way of bootieism
