Person who makes sure to watch every trending Netflix documentary about social issues in the world (ex. Blackfish, Ted Bundy, Tiger King, R. Kelly, etc), and makes sure to post a "novel" about it on social media, but never actually researches social issues or tries to change the world for the better.
"Did you see Breanna's huge Facebook post about R. Kelly?"
"Yep. Just being a Netflix Activist as usual."

When a group or organisation is infiltrated by those representing minority interests in such a way that they gain significant influence or control and then use this to push their desired agenda.
Activist capture is usually a deliberate process initiated by outsiders of the group or organisation. Tactics include: *Making demands for representation, often citing a lack thereof
*Calls for allyships
*Forming of a bloc that is used to drown out individual members and amplify their own voices
* Liberal use and accusations of "isms" and "phobias" designed to force compliance through fear
*Threats or intimidation if the above doesn't work
Activist capture is a strategy used when it is highly unlikely that a brand new group representing activist interests will gain anywhere near the power or influence of the existing one.

Someone who is active in sitting around, arguing about something they hate, and rise up in groups to complain and due nothing about something they have an opinion about. An opinion nobody cares about except them.
I am an “activist”, here’s my complaint(yells violently, throwing a temper tantrum) “Then sits around and does nothing about it”

You just had an activist on your show and lauded her for sponging up her easy moral virtue you idiot. It was even in the title! From woke marxists to conservative activist. And then you spit on her cock and rode that dick until the cows came home. Just... Just dick riding. Big time.
Hym "But Jordan, you love activists when they're on your side and you had one on your show... Just like 3 shows ago... You didn't have anything to say about how easy it was for her to claim that moral virtue and get on your podcast, Jordan.... Where... Why... What happened? What... What could that be? What could that mean? 'Um... Well... SHE is one of the good ones... Um... She... Uhh... Her activism furthers my ends and promotes my brand! Er... Wait... Oh, right. I don't have beliefs...' It just wild how quickly you forget. You LOVE activists."
