There can be more to being a Leftist than just showing up at a protest. Someone needs to educate the masses, and plan, and help organize those events.

I contribute my abilities, in accordance with my health needs. I have limitations and know it.

I feel your frustration over this. I share it. But, I also realize it's true. Thats exactly what a LOT of us are. We sit here and dream of it. But then rent knocks. The kids get sick. The bills are due.. You're out of food... Life happens. it sucks. We all hate it. We hate the words "armchair revolutionary" because it makes us feel like cowards. We arent. We have responsibilities we cant ignore. So we post about it. We spread the word. We help fan the flames. No shame in that. We do what we can.

Gonna be real, yes you are an Armchair Revolutionary. If you are pushing for people to start a revoltion where they take the brunt of the fallout from it while all you do is post online, even if you have an actual excuse, yes that makes you an Armchair Revolutionary

Organizing is more than just showing up to a protest. Someone needs to educate the masses, plan, and help organize those events. Also, who are you to say disabled organizers and propagandists are not contributing? You sound shortsighted and ablest AF.

So an armchair revolitionary
somethingcleverlol
yeah an Armchair Revolutionary. If that is all you are doing, that is the definition of it. Sorry you dont like the term, but it fits.

Okay, so being an armchair revolutionary is fine, then.
somethingcleverlol
wouldnt say that. if you arent gonna phyiscally particate in revolution then by default you will have a less of a say of how it works out.

Fighting for cause is fighting for cause, as long as everyone gives what they can it's enough. Doesn't mean some aren't more impactful than others. So, if armchair revolutionary is best you can be, at least it's armchair revultionism, and not compliantly waiting for better days.
