Fracktivist

An activist for social and environmental justice who is against the process of hydraulic fracturing also called fracking. Fracktivists have united globally to prevent the negative impacts from fracking such as massive freshwater consumption, hazardous chemical spills, billions of gallons of toxic waste byproducts and earthquakes. Fracktivists generally take non violent direct action by holding forums, rallies, action camps, marches, blockades, contact blitzes, tree sits, locking themselves to equipment and occupying corporate and government spaces to overcome the high dollar PR campaigns of the Oil & Gas industry.
From New York to California and around the globe, fracktivists have united to save the planet by a common call of "BAN FRACKING NOW!"

Factinista 

A person, or group of people, who spend their lives telling others what is or is not a fact, based on what they have read in books.

Coined by Steven Colbert during a brilliant monologue at the White House Correspondents Dinner.
Ladies and gentlemen of the press corps, Madame First Lady, Mr. President, my name is Stephen Colbert and tonight it's my privilege to celebrate this president. We're not so different, he and I. We get it. We're not brainiacs on the nerd patrol. We're not members of the factinista. We go straight from the gut, right sir? That's where the truth lies, right down here in the gut. Do you know you have more nerve endings in your gut than you have in your head? You can look it up. I know some of you are going to say "I did look it up, and that's not true." That's 'cause you looked it up in a book.

Hipster douchebag: "Occupy apple? I need my iphone to pass along all the latest fads. Besides occupy is so 2011, it's all about Kony 2012!"
Common sense person: "you're just buying into the latest fad. You're such a hipster fauxtivist"

Faktivist 

A contraction of the words "Facebook" and "activist". A hashtag warrior who truly believes that their likes on pictures donate money to poor kids in 'Africa'.

Can also refer to a person whom honestly believes their hashtags can magically take human form to fight for human rights, and that Boko Haram (aka Trey Songz) will bring their girls back.
Noun: There go them faktivists again. Sorry Nigeria, I will not bring back your girls.

Verb: Yo, can someone tell Lucy to stop faktivising. Trey Songz ain't bringing your girls back. #ItsMrStealYourGirl
