Activist

The difference between many, if not most activists and pacifists, is an activist would kill in order to look like something other than weak, or passive.
The activist wouldn't suffer the humiliation and shame of being called a pacifist by others, he/she couldn't handle it, so he/she became an activist who appeared to be active and ready at all times instead, and tried to be the persecutor, rather than the persecuted.

black activist

An expert at using guilt, intimidation and the threat of racial violence to shake down whitey.
What do you call a white guy who talks of white rage, and the threat of racial violence? A despicable racist. What do you call a black guy who talks about black rage, and the threat of racial violence? A black activist.

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.
