"Activism is a way for useless people to feel important, even if the consequences of their activism are counterproductive for those they claim to be helping and damaging to the fabric of society as a whole." Amen! Lots of activists on this board would disagree with that. I'm not one of them.

I think his comment about activists refers to "peace and justice" types who coddle dictators and never, ever do anything to actually bring about peace and justice.

I was thinking of leftist activism which tries to gain power over others as opposed
to conservative activism which usually tries to help others empower themselves.
