Slacktivism: I deserve all possible suffering.
[originally published on Feb 9]
My life, at least, is meant to understand world and improve it for others.
However, as I am doing none of this, I need personal experience in order to:
- shame myself into doing so, essentially punishment for inaction.
- understand world more profoundly (suffering is very easy to earn as useless ingrate and dreg of society)
I will never earn opportunity to experience ALL suffering. That would be impossible, but I should attempt to either alleviate suffering or collect consequences.
If I am not afflicted, then I will not pay for all that I have (not) done due to my being bystander. Bystanders rarely get punished for their wicked neglect.
I am that repulsive bystander that makes supposed 'changes' that cause no significant action and solely feeds ego: slacktivist, stereotypical SJW, someone who would go some protest and immediately 'sit myself down'* because "my fake problems depress me".
While these people and their minimal effort may have some effect, they do very little; we do very little. Maybe we would arise and stand up, but these chairs are so comfortable; they are made partially of those we let be killed.
*This was originally reference to "Use Your Voice" by H2O (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lq-Z7DeVCoQ
but then remembered "STFD" by TeZATalks (https://soundcloud.com/tezatalks/stfd), which was released around time that I wrote this post.
Also, when searching for H2O's song, I found this Habitat for Humanity video: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZkgsIHBd3M)
