the world of leftist activism

What has this meant in practice?

If you mean you’re going to not pontificate in leftist forums online, fine, whatever. Oh no.

But if you’re doing meaningful leftist work like volunteering with community organizations, helping the less fortunate or any one of hundreds of meaningful, real life actual leftist activities, and you’re going to stop helping people because you think things are going to get worse… Well, I can’t tell if that’s more selfish or weak.
