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.

Activist Annies

Cause-worshiping nut cases in colleges who become activists. They protest whatever they can because they need a cause. Feeling superior to everyone else because they're "fighting for something" is why they wake up in the morning.

SJWs are a prime example of this. They feel they are fighting racism to the point that they turn into racists themselves.

They fight for leftist conspiracy theories such as autism-causes-vaccines nonsense, or against GMO, against nuclear energy, against "social injustice", against "racism", against Wall-Street, or against animal testing...

Or they fight for right-wing conspiracy theories such as neo-nazism, fighting against the "establishment", against the illuminati or against FEMA, against even legal immigrants, or against the government because of that one tax bill that pissed them off.
e.g. "oh look more obsessed mentally-disturbed Activist Annies that's protesting some nonsense that no one gives a damn about."
