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.

#1  It's a highly profitable activity too, where your individual odiousness can actually be encashed. Like p0rn, but for rabid ugliness and public nuisance.

In fact, not even 10% of professional activists know or care what the campaign wants overall, or is aware of the reasons/ethics/science involved. More than half have got to be the ugly, frustrated brats of the cotton wool generation, products of an over-systematized nanny state.

The Democrats have long trusted the dysfunctional human individual as a 'grunt' in n army. To be regimented under an umbrella of causes and sent out as fodder against political or economic 'enemies'. They did the same thing with the contras, the muslims, and now with their own citizens.
