Transgender activists have flooded a Utah tip line created to alert state officials to possible violations of a new bathroom law with thousands of hoax reports.
That is intentional. The same corporations that lobby the govt to pass legislation that let’s them do whatever they want also lobby the govt to make protest and activism seem like a bad thing.
I mean just look at how people react to protestors gluing themselves to roads or handcuffing themselves to machines or whatever. They’re almost universally seen as problem causers because all anyone else sees is someone wasting their time.
The term activist has a good connotation with me, but there are certainly ones who take things too far and give others a bad name. Totally depends on what they’re doing and why.
I’m personally at the point where I feel violence is necessary. Peaceful protest only works when the people your protesting against aren’t using literal military forces against you.
I hate when they call people activists just for trying to do the right thing against a corrupt government
It’s the correct term. The bad thing is that it apparently has a negative connotation.

See the problem falls on what is “too far”?

You’re right, it’s very subjective.
