Nothing says 'committed social justice activist' like watching YouTube, taking selfies during die-in

In the good old days of hippie protests, die-in participants sprawled out on the ground, took a nap, and watched the clouds pass. As Twitchy noted earlier tonight, today’s self-aggrandizing hipsters get on their phones so they can let everyone else know how progressively progressive they are.

Or perhaps they’re watching videos of…other die-in peers livestreaming their plugged-in progressivism?
