Yes Marci! In fact that was going to be the premise of the post, but I felt I needed to address the hipster claim first. But yes. This is a PREMIER form of slacktivism.

Kony 2012 also plays into the hipster ideal of “slacktivism.” For 6 months in college I lived in a 30-person co-op. While half of us were political science students (or rogue biology students in my case…) who were out organizing protests and fundraisers, the hipster-half of the house sort-of cared about our causes, but not enough to step out of their routine of smoking American spirits and riding their fixies to the bar.
