The definition of activism has been pointed out to you many times in this thread.

The OP just doesn't like any activism at all mate, lost cause, he should live in the UK and bow to the queen like a good peasant subject lol

I would much rather bow then engage in groupthink and narcissism. Have fun making signs no one will read.

I'm just back in to say that your comment is an incredibly hilarious irony because you put a picture of people holding up signs in your OP and we read those signs.

Those aren’t actual activists, by the way.

How does that invalidate my point?

I’m speaking about protesters. The photo speaks to my point.

I understand. You're using fake protesters to attempt to prove your point.

I’m just using the photo.

Yep. You used a photo of fake protesters without informing us that they are fake.

And you said you were leaving the thread, yet here you are. That’s what you’d call a “incredibly hilarious irony“.

I would argue there are ways of creating change that don’t involve coercion and disrupting the lives of others.

There are. Not all ways always work.

What would you suggest as an acceptable means to creating change? Since there is folly in activism...

Yes I did say that. But when I saw your post I just found it soooooo hilarious that I just couldn't help but comment on it.

Thanks for the laugh.

What are "actual activists?"

Generally people who use “vigorous campaigning to bring about political or social change.”

"Vigorous." Would you not support their right to do so [vigorously campaign for change]?

I’d have to think long and hard on that one. I think a good place to start is to first understand what one is fighting for.

So long as they aren’t trampling on the rights of others, they can do what they wish.

I'll wait.

Pretty sure they know what their goals are, as activists.

But nice attempt to shift the narrative from activists and campaigners to "fighters."

LOL. I had to laugh at that because you're absolutely right.
Perhaps we can be fighters while being couch potatoes.

I’m not even sure you know what that means anymore, why you keep using it, and it is probably instinctual at this point, just like scurrying away when you can muster no other argument.

I was speaking metaphorically. No, they are not actually fighting.

You keep using irony ironically. It’s a thing of beauty.

The whole long winded and thesaurus filled OP can be summarized like this:
"I think activism is stupid and it serve no purpose and it can be as bad as Nazi activists or any other bad activisms."

Yes.

Does a person have the right to not be discriminated against?
