A pejorative neologism combining 'slacker' and 'activism,' sometimes spelled 'slacktivism.' Engaging socially in activism that requires little or no effort as part of a lifestyle or self-identity. Slactivism usually produces no appreciable results and often perpetuates poor research and hearsay.
1. When I heard that Jack was boycotting Taco Bell because he said they exploit tomato farmers in Latin America, I knew it was more of Jack's slactivism. He never visited Taco Bell anyway.
2. Jill thought of herself as an activist. She always hit "Like" on Facebook whenever a social justice issue came up, and she was a part of several Political Action Committee fan pages, but her friends knew her slactivism couldn't be counted on to write Congress or go beyond a few mouse-clicks.

The slacker's form of activism. i.e. "We'll protest the next war..."
Jim wanted to sign the petition, but couldn't get off the couch. Quintessential slactivism.

a condition in which things are happening or being done slowly or aimlessly.
His life was brimming with slactivity.
The rate at which one does something but accomplishes little.
I called a lot of clients today but didn't actually speak to anyone. But when reports are run, my slactivity will be among the highest.
