Macktivism

The act of attending rallies, marches, conferences, or other activist-related events in the hopes of meeting attractive activists. A portmanteau of "to mack" and "activism."

One who participates in macktivism is said to be a "macktivist."

I met the cutest boy at the US Social Forum in Detroit last summer -so glad we decided to get our macktivism on!

The Campus Libertarians never get laid because macktivists just aren't interested.

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.

hacktivism 

Politically motiviated hacking. Some examples include denial of service attacks against conservative groups, defacement of political websites, malicious software development, and website parodies. Tends to be leftist and has close ties with anarchy.

When the media is taken over by conservative propaganda, citizens can engage in underground hacktivism to fight back.

Wacktivist 

Research shows that activists actually know less about the causes they champion than the average person. Instead, they’re in the cause to fill the emptiness in their lives and feel they’re doing something important. The community they form with similarly-minded zealots also addresses their loneliness. Passionate about causes they know little about, these people get in the way of advocates who employ sound strategy trying to make positive changes to the world. Wacktivists attack sane people because wacktivists fear their problems being “solved.” What would fill the emptiness then?

Don’t bother going to Creating Change. It’s just a convention of wacktivists.
