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.

Champagne activist (noun): A person who publicly expresses support for a cause or movement, typically by raising a glass of champagne or making a toast, but who does not take any meaningful or sustained action to advance the cause. Also known as Slackatism.
"After toasting to the latest social justice cause with a glass of bubbly, the champagne activist promptly returned to their privileged bubble without doing anything to address the root issues."
