For the sake of an argument, can it be said that online activism is nothing more than slacktivism? This term combines the words slacker and activism and posits that people who support a cause by performing simple measures are not truly engaged or devoted to making a change. 3, record 1, English, - slacktivism

En résumé, peut-on dire que l’activisme en ligne n’est rien de plus qu’un activisme paresseux («slacktivism»)? En anglais, le terme «slacktivism» combine les mots «slacker» (fainéant) et activisme et considère que les gens qui soutiennent une cause en exécutant des mesures simples ne sont pas vraiment engagé[e]s ou attaché[e]s à changer quoi que ce soit. 5, record 1, French, - activisme%20paresseux
