They mean that you talk big about "our work" as activists, all while you're here spending your time and a not insignificant amount of your energy posting about a non-issue.

Look, I'm going to level with you here under the assumption your heart is in the right place and that you really do do some actual activism. First of all, you're making this shit about you in a post detailing the mass murder of school children. You (when not posting cringe on lemmy) are really in the streets protesting against the murderous, imperialist, genocidal actions of the United States? Good! Keep it up, though I hope you're doing so as part of an organization. But it is hard to imagine that you really are when you're here, thinking it's important enough to argue the "not all ~~whites~~ ~~men~~ USians!" line.

Even setting aside the fact that directing your indignant energy towards yourself and demanding others do the same, like you are the aggrieved party in a post about the bombing of children in other countries is cringe.... Literally no one who says "the US is a terrorist state" is implying that every individual between Mexico, Canada and the Pacific and Atlantic oceans is a terrorist, or that every single one of them condones the terrorism that the US is committing, or even that some of them aren't actively in opposition to it. What you are arguing about is not relevant. And what's more, it's petty and self centered.

I'm happy to discuss further with you when you've calmed down. You're seething right now and I wasn't trying to make you angry. Maybe we'll chat more tomorrow. Have a good night. 🫱
