“Activism is a way for people who care deeply about specific societal concerns, public issues, collective actions, etc. to voice said concerns and / or promote change, regardless of whether or not I agree with them.”
-Me, just now.
That stated, other than voting I have never cared enough about anything specific to be an activist. I have never promoted, protested, boycotted, etc. anyone or anything.
That doesn’t make me better or worse than anyone else. It’s just a fact.
I have not read much from Thomas Sowell since my college poly sci classes. He made some sense to me back then.

Activism has become a way for petulant children to try to force society to implement their will in stead of the will of the majority.
It's the adult version of kicking and screaming.
