Slacktivism is like rent for living on the internet

"Smoking dope and hanging up Che's picture is no more a commitment than drinking milk and collecting postage stamps." 
-Abbie Hoffman, author and activist

This week I wrote a follow-up feature to the RBC temporary foreign worker brouhaha caused by the Mother Corp itself. 
I have to say that my eyes were opened to how fast and furious internet outrage can mount. But, what surprised me more was how benign big-talkin' slacktivists can be in the face of injustice.
