		SCdF on Feb 5, 2019 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Stop Reading News (2013) How so? The number of people who perform some kind of activism is way lower than voter turnout. What makes you think there are lots of people who are doing "performative" activism that isn't translating into them voting or otherwise participating in the system?

I don't think that. Activism isn't translating into non-activists voting, hence activism being performative.
