    It's seems to be the age of the activist, with their constant protests - they seem to be driving all the conversations around policy, culture, stories, and more. But in their zest to get their messaging across activists are disrupting businesses, travel, and calling large amounts of vandalization. This strategy is clearly hurting the causes they are fighting for and yet they will refuse to stop.
    But why?

      They will never stop because it's a replacement religion, and each new set of activists tries to outdo the last set in terms of proving their "faith" to their "God."
      The point at which they will start killing in the name of their replacement deity is not very far away, now, and if all of the circumstantial evidence is in the indication, the (transgender) female who shot up the Tennessee Christian School is one of the first suicide bombers in their belief system.

      I think she does feel some sort of remorse but she is too scared to express it and thereby accepting that she is to blame for having crippled a human being indefinitely. The cause of those activists are noble but what they are doing to achieve their goals results in terrible consequences. Sometimes the best intentions lead to the worst outcomes.
      I really wish the best for the paralyzed woman and that those activists will see that they cause real harm to the people with their actions so that they don't ever repeat those mistakes ever again.
      The activists should really just let ambulances and people in emergencies pass through instead of stopping them.
      On a side note: In my country those activists that glue themselves on the road even get a salary from their organization which is really disturbing.

    The problem with activism is that, once you get what you ask for, you have nothing left to distract you from your actual problems.
    So, they move on to a new grift. A new "problem" to tackle. It's an endless cycle of banging your fist against society until society either takes pity on them, or their fist starts to bleed.
    It's an insidious type of religion that can not substitute an actual honest living.

    • @saskia9720
      @saskia9720 Před 10 měsíci

      I've heard people argue that this is what's happening to the gay community. Gay rights were achieved, but the energy remained so the focus went onto trans rights, then trans children's rights, and they need to keep finding things to fight for, because the majority of gay people living in the western world are just living normally. So you frame "drag is not child friendly" as "drag queens are being banned, they're stripping gay rights away", and "children shouldn't be allowed to medically transition" gets framed as "trans rights are being taken away". They have to reframe and exaggerate the problems that are going on, because they can no longer direct it towards actual discrimination that gay people face - gay people can get married, are not discriminated in the workplace (they are in fact a protected demographic now), they can adopt, own houses, run for president etc etc. There's nothing big and meaningful left to fight for anymore, but that energy is still there so gets directed towards something else.

    As a former activist I can tell you that there are two main types. The first are people who genuinely want to help.

    As a Nigerian-immigrant in the west, my opinion is that they won't stop because progressivism(cultural marxism) is an ideology and religion. Due to how privileged and safe the west is, many of the left (especially the urban and young ones) are without struggle and purpose. So being radical and disruptive is the only way they fill this void. Even those in the west who actually would benefit from activism end up being harm d by it because of these radicals e.g. Black Americans who largely opposed the BLM riots that led to lootings, killings and destruction of their neighborhoods.

People who got to live, rent free, in my head. People who controlled my life and didn't care or feel any pain from my hating them. It was ruining my life, and they didn't even know.

    Protesting is saying that there’s something wrong with the world and not with me. It’s deflection. I used to be a vegan activist (cringe) and went to a few “demonstrations”. At that time in my life, late teens early twenties, I felt so lost, lonely, insecure, depressed. But instead of focusing my energy on improving myself and my circumstances I would focus my attention on “saving the world”. It was definitely a form of escapism so I wouldn’t have to face what was going on in my life. I remember going to those demonstrations hoping to get some meaning and purpose from them but I never did. In fact, when I was “protesting”, that’s when I felt the most empty and lost. I remember driving home from the protests wondering why I felt so anxious and empty whilst I was there. At 26 I’m so much happier. I got saved, got married, started eating meat again, no longer an environmentalist either. I’m sooooo much happier and healthier. Glad to be done with that stage of my life.

    Nowadays, I can barely stand being on FB because my peers are like a hive-mind full in the midst of the most brain-killing groupthink. If friend B notices that Random Person C has said something outside of orthodox friend B will go through all the mutual friends of B and C and call them out to drop being friends with C. You must be 200% adherent to the outrage of the day. You can't even express anything that might even attempt to understand where the new enemy is coming from.
    I rarely use any more social media because it's too hostile, these people have nothing interesting to say. I also live in Chicago still, and the city is in free-fall (and has been), but you can't criticize the politician these people all back because that makes you a theocracy-supporting bigot.

If their actions lead to fire/ambulance/police/essential workers not being able to get someone in time they should face criminal charges. Its just unacceptable, there are so many other ways to protest that aren't likely to result in the deaths of innocent people. I suspect if people knew they could potentially end up in jail for a long time on manslaughter charges when someone who would have lived dies when stuck in an ambulace traffic jam or a building burns down with people trapped inside, many would think about more than their own self rightousness for their own self preservation even those that don't really care about others.

      Some of the most totalitarian and outright EVIL regimes in history were all created by people just like the woke activists in modern times. The Brown Shirts all fought believing they would help bring back Germany to its former glory and the Reds in China and Russia fought because they believed they could create a more equal world for the workers to live and grow in.
      All three of these countries turned into the most evil and heartless of empires whose effects we still feel today as China is still sadly around and Putin still clings to the Soviet Union of old while a new American Soviet State seeks to create itself and repeat the same mistakes the Reds of the past made.

    What’s funny as my former college history professor (also a accredited historian) once told me “social activism is one of the most overhyped phenomenons in modern history. There is a common myth of its importance and positive impact on the world. In reality it’s been consistently one of the least effective methods of societal change.” As a young naive then activist I was stunned, and resented him for this statement. Later realized he was very much correct via my own experiences with “activism” and further research into historical precedents.
    More often “social activism” as it is typically practiced by ideological extremist (which is exactly what these people are) is the catalyst for violent revolutions and civil wars that often result in the polar opposite of what the instigating factional movements wanted. As they are often deemed the source origin (mostly because truthfully they are) of the societal destabilization that led to armed conflict in the first place. Thus a lot of the societal resentments and anger of the common masses when the pendulum inevitably swings back in their direction falls on these activists.
    Good examples:
    Czarist Loyalists vs Russian Reformists vs Bolsheviks vs Mensheviks (Bolsheviks were the more disciplined and ideologically unified faction that won out over the others. Still quite aggressive but compared to the others considered more stable to the common people.)
    Jacobins vs Imperial Reformers vs Royalists (Reformist aligned factions linked to Napoleon won out in the end, especially as the Jacobins became morally unpalatable to the general populace.)
    Loyalists vs Patriots (Patriots won out, also many forget the Loyalists were in the beginning actually way more aggressively opposed to the Patriots and their initially peaceful activities than vice versa. Which led to a gradual radicalization of the Patriots whom became more aggressively hostile to them in exchange. Patriots won out among general populace due to the popular perception of their violence being more contextually justified than the British aligned Loyalist movements.)
    Abolitionist Northerners vs Pro-Slavery Southerners (Abolitionists ultimately won out, often people forget that it was the pro-slavery advocates whom were the most overtly aggressive throughout most of these interstate struggles leading up the Civil War. With groups like John Brown being the exception on the other side rather than the rule. And largely being organized violent militias led by religious groups that formed out built up resentments against the aggressive tactics long employed by Pro-Slavery “activists” whom were really ore akin to intimidation mobs, criminal gangs, and domestic terrorists, in the frontier territories.)
    Communist/Socialist and Spartacist Inspired Movements vs the Nazis and fascist aligned movements in Germany (Unfortunately the Nazis and a coalition of other groups won out in the Weimar Republic due to its establishment’s universal unpopularity. And the public backlash at the decade long undisciplined and random violent escalations. That were often perpetrated on common civilians by the various socialist revolutionaries and anti-government movements. Thus leading to the erroneous perception that the comparatively less overly aggressive and disruptive fascist groups were more stable and less prone to extremism. And the unpopular Weimar Republic establishment much to their future detriment chose to ally themselves with these forces as a protective bulwark against the then more radical socialist movements.)
    And too many more to count. Point being right or wrong usually the side that curry’s less popular favor from the common masses ends up losing.

While I disagree with those opinions, she didn't actually say anything that was hateful, illegal or worthy of getting canceled. Suddenly, people that are essentially powerless in every day life felt the power of being able to destroy someone's life, and of course, started looking for new victims on Twitter. Even though canceling people wasn't new, this felt like a turning point where people didn't even have to leave their houses to feel powerful in their moral superiority.

    One would think presenting someone with the plain, concrete consequences for their actions would shake someone into realizing how wrong they are. It's incredible (horrible, but incredible) to watch that Stop Oil activist twist herself into knots to avoid being shaken. Doing everything in her power to avoid having to even acknowledge that her activism directly led to someone being irreparably harmed.
    But that's the modern activist in a nutshell. You can apply that standard to their every cause. Whether it's the poor and the racial minorities they claim to fight for, children, or even gay people, they will refuse to acknowledge ANY evidence that shows their activism is hurting those groups. They can't allow themselves to believe, even for a second, that they are in the wrong. Their minds would literally shatter.
