Support -- I've never heard the term "slacktivism" used, but I've heard "armchair activist" used for years. Therefore, I think it would be much more appropriate to have this article (perhaps rewritten) at armchair activism. --metzerly 04:52, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Oppose
Oppose - I've heard the opposite; "Slacktivism" used more than "armchair activism". The other article could be a redirect, and there could be something specified in the article as to lack of clarity as to which term came first, but "slacktivism" was made notable by Snopes and is, in any case, the term more currently used.--み使い Mitsukai 05:11, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Discussion
Okay, perhaps it's a regional thing, but I've never heard the phrase "slacktivist." Perhaps I could make a separate article for armchair activism that refers to this pejorative as well. --metzerly 00:00, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
- That might work, considering that there's different terms for Limousine liberal, chardonnay socialist and champagne socialist are three different articles regarding three different regional terms for the same concept. The explanation of the terms within the article is mainly what differentiates them.--み使い Mitsukai 00:56, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
