One of the best answers I have read so far Steve! I completely agree with you which some may argue is why I think it is one of the best answers !LOLZ... But I think we need to look at each particular incidence of activism and ask ourselves whether (a) it is actually achieving anything in the grand scheme of things, and (b) whether it is doing more harm than good... If activism has no hope of changing the status quo, and if it does more harm than good, it really isn't justified. When the exercise of one set of rights is facilitated through the trampling of the rights of others, this cannot be right! The end does not always justify the means! As you point out, some of history's greatest activists achieved incredible feats through peaceful means that did not infringe upon the liberties and rights of others in a disproportionate manner. Sadly too many activists use the genre of political protest as a cover to achieve more nefarious objectives. !PIZZA !ALIVE !hivebits

I think those 2 considerations make sense. My understanding of things is that the real war is for people's attention and the elephant in the room is why is there such a profound psychological campaign in place to do this.
Therefore, by removing your attention, you win.
Have a great sunday!

For the activist, drawing attention to their cause is key. But they should aim to draw positive attention. What a lot of activists do is say... hey if I make life difficult for the rest of society, I'll piss them off sufficiently so that they will collectively decide, by default, to support our objectives simply to make their pain go away. So there is indirect support achieved because those feeling the pain place pressure directly on those causing the issues that are the object of the activism, to force them to put a stop to the activism... and the activist hopes the remedy comes in the form of acquiescence to their demands. It rarely does! This cannot be the right way to approach things.
I agree completely. That's not the right way to get consent/support from people. I'm not even sure if trying to get indirect support like that is even effective, but you have summarised it nicely.
