Basil's Walmart

When a keyboard warrior condescendingly suggests that participating in democracy is lazy or näive, and that the real way to enact meaningful change in the world is to commit some act of righteous political violence, and then goes on to do no such terroristic act, opting instead to continue to participate in more internet flame wars. Used by edgy teens and armchair anarchists to prove how cool and woke they are.
