Sactivism

Activism performed yielding the nutsac.

Person 1: How's Sactivism working out for you?
person 2: Yeah, I'll put my nutsac back in my pants when you bring the troops home.

Performance activism

When someone uses a “woke” cause to ensure their social media following knows that they care... when actually, all they care about is their influencer status and the amount of like they’ll get.

“Hey, have you seen that Guy is constantly posting about this cause on his feed?”
“Yeah, of course... they have to at least LOOK like they care. Performance activism is his forte. That’s perfect follower material, right there!”

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!

hashtag activism

The kind of activism undertaken when you "do something" about a problem by tweeting or posting links to Facebook, without any intent of ever actually doing something. Nothing more than a nonsense feelgood gesture so that one can say they "did something about" whatever trendy cause they're pretending to care about. Usually only lasts a week or two before the cause is completely forgotten (i.e. it stops being cool to forward/retweet on the subject).

I forwarded a video about some unspeakable atrocities in a country I didn't know existed until I watched the video. My hashtag activism is going to accomplish something!

avatar activism

Similar to facebook activism, the belief that no-commitment activities will result in meaningful social change. This meme results from the belief that awareness is all that is necessary to improve society, rather than actually donating money or time.

Real examples of avatar activism:

I changed my Twitter avatar to green to support Iranis!

I blacked out my avatar to support awareness of Australia's Black Saturday!

slacktivism

The self-deluded idea that by liking, sharing, or retweeting something you are helping out.

John:"Did you see Facebook last night?"
Steve:"Yeah it was just a bunch of slacktivism with that Kony 2012 video"

Satinism

A new religion that worships the divine fabric... Satin. Not Satan and all of that bullshit, but SATIN. The church of satin is decorated with satin draping all around the walls, the congregation and priest dresses in satin robes, and the priest just talks about satin, and probably uses a lot of fabric related puns.

It is formed mostly just to confuse radical conservative Christians who will inevitably mistake it for satanism. It'd be the next best parody religion to pastafarianism.

"The priest at the church of satinism gave a long sermon about how our creator satin fabricated us into existence..."
