In a recent late night discussion with a friend, she mentioned that she was formerly an activist. This struck a chord with me, and I instantly engaged my mental engines to churn out a definition for the word inactivist.
After a short while, I gave up. Stumped.
How would you define “inactivist”?
Personally, I keep bumping into the fact that the word suggests a degree of militant belief, yet that seems contrary to the concept of inactivity.
If you have any ideas for jumping this verbal hurdle, please share!
Someone who promotes inaction. Doing this without resorting to action is quite difficult.
Is this the same as a passivist?
So government operatives who work to reduce anti-government demonstrations? Or is it more like they try to convince people to chillax? You know, relax, take a day off, lounge, chill out.
I not an inactivist, but I believe in moderation in moderation.
And activists are some of the most millitant people I know. Da** paradigm shifters!
Hmmmm…so would a person who calms activists down be an inactivist or an anti-activist?
Reminds me of Mitch Hedberg’s: “I’m against picketing but don’t know how to show it” line
Cactivist-an individual dedicated to cacti related issues, someone who would march in the million-needle march.
Practivist-an individual who works by simple, straightforward means to support their cause.
Snactivist-an individual, possibly quite rotund, who believes that the human diet should be divided up into 30 snacks a day, mostly Doritos.
Wacktivist-an individual that is so intensely enamored by their cause that they have lost all perspective; e.g. Micheal Moore.
Micheal Moore would also be considered a Snacktivist, I think. LOL.
