A portmanteau of "internet" and "activist" to more efficiently and accurately
label and understand self-described "activists" who "spread awareness," complain about
stuff or make idle demands about how things ought to be or the way they should be
done online in petitions, blogs, forums, comment sections and social media, but who have no real intention, plan or ability to do or participate in
anything in real life; especially those who
post under pseudonyms out of fearful pretense that they are of any consequence to the powers that be against whom they believe they so fervently struggle.
The politically-minded prototype for the "social media influencer," more accurately and concisely known as "floozies."
