A Boring Dystopia

Know what else causes a loss of effective action and leads to a reversion to performative activism?

Making good points badly, to such a degree that your (presumably personally and deeply held beliefs) come across as the inverse of your intention.

Because neither the erosion of effective action nor the rise of performative activism, occurs in a vacuum.

In fact, both play into the hands of those who benefit from said erosions, and who have guided the communual discourse in such a way that even the very act of discussion in regards to the topics most important to the themes at hand, is apt to fracture into a mixture of ineffective action, which itself can only come across as "performative activism" to those approaching the very same problems, from a different angle.

Like, are you even aware of how poignant your gun violence example is, how your approach can easily be misconstrued as the same performative activism (an angry, contrarian, lone wolf call to sanity online is practically a trope at this point)?

They're winning, because nuance cannot be shouted, it must be demonstrated.

I joined a few days ago. I've posted about a number of issues, all on a similar being (the loss of effective action through a reversion to performative activism).

Okay, contributing is good but are you going to comment this on any post relating to an issue you don't care about?

You don't need accuracy, you need relevance. 25,000 dead people is as relevant as 25,000 dead children.

In the context of the rest of your comments this sentence is mind blowing to me.

You argue about relevance and that the number really doesn't matter all that much and can't see why people criticize your argument about transgender people dying being not as relevant as non-transgender people dying?
