Activist

Someone who is active in sitting around, arguing about something they hate, and rise up in groups to complain and due nothing about something they have an opinion about. An opinion nobody cares about except them.

activist capture

When a group or organisation is infiltrated by those representing minority interests in such a way that they gain significant influence or control and then use this to push their desired agenda.

Activist capture is usually a deliberate process initiated by outsiders of the group or organisation. Tactics include: *Making demands for representation, often citing a lack thereof
*Calls for allyships
*Forming of a bloc that is used to drown out individual members and amplify their own voices
* Liberal use and accusations of "isms" and "phobias" designed to force compliance through fear
*Threats or intimidation if the above doesn't work

Activist capture is a strategy used when it is highly unlikely that a brand new group representing activist interests will gain anywhere near the power or influence of the existing one.

Men's rights activists

You are just as bad as the punditry.
Hym "I'll tell the men's rights activists the same thing I pundits: I don't need you to argue poorly for rights I don't want. And you're wrong. I DO just want sex... Almost exclusively with lesbians... Which is weird. I think prostitution should be legal and it would solve my problems with women immediately."

Activistic Cronyism

The use of social, political, or environmental activism as a cover to reward allies, friends, or insiders, rather than to achieve genuine reform.
“Their diversity initiative was just activistic cronyism — top jobs went to the same insiders with a fresh PR spin.”

“That senator’s climate task force is activistic cronyism at its finest; it’s packed with donors and lobbyists who profit from the policies.”

“The charity claimed to fight inequality, but their funding choices screamed activistic cronyism — friends of the board got all the grants.”
