activist capture

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.

The Labour party was subject to activist capture by the pro-Corbyn Momentum group.

Capture

The act of taking a picture or the picture itself can be a capture. Might also refer to video.

Capture of a flash flood. People like to act like they can capture huge forces of nature like floods and tidal waves. They like to feel that by pointing their cell phone at the spectacle they have tamed and imprisoned it forever in their files. Parents seldom say, capture of my child or would you like to see my captures when referring to their snapshots of their children, because it sounds abusive and pervy

Capture the flag

When a girl inserts her underwear into her vagina and prompts her male (or female) partner to remove the underwear with his mouth.

I wanted to get her out of my room but I couldn't find her underwear. Then she turned to me and asked me to capture the flag.

The Crapture

The End of Times Crap-fest for Neo-Con wingnut Christianists, when their fear of an Obama presidency will propel them all heavenward on a "flaming column" of their own feces.

In the blog "Sadly, No!" Arky The Islahomobamaist proposed, "I’m really interested to see what they’ll do if Obama wins. The current level of hysteria suggests they’ll blast off to the moon on a flaming column of fear-propulsed diarrhea", which Jennifer then dubbed as "The Crapture".
