No a keyboard warrior would be someone trying to act tough by threatening or abusing you, the whole “I’d kick your arse if you were here saying that to my face” shtick.
And to demand Americans stop America from killing innocent people? Yeah the fucking audacity of me right.
I suppose I should have used ‘slacktivist’ or ‘armchair anarchist’, but I felt the implication that you’d be doing what you’re demanding of americans (were the political situations reversed) was enough to muddy the distinction between the three incredibly important terms. I also felt those two were more directly insulting, and liable to be wrong (you might be involved in your local politics IRL), so I chose to avoid using them. Please, let us litigate further this topic I’m sure we both care about instead of talking about something like: how easy it is to demand other people die for a cause when you can’t be asked to do the same.
For context: I’ve been shot while protesting for Palestine once already, and the IDF ripped out my babysitter’s spine with a bulldozer and left her to drown in her own blood while she was protesting. What’ve you done in in your time, exactly, that’s putting your body on the line?
(okay)
it was probably just a flesh wound from shrapnel, but there were still bullets.
