Whacktivist

Activists who do more harm their cause than help it by attacking the public instead of the organizations responsible for what they are protesting against.

Just Stop Oil is a whacktivist group that attacks paintings in museums and disrupts traffic instead of going directly to the facilities owned by the oil industries and organizing large noticeable protests there.

Wacktivist

Research shows that activists actually know less about the causes they champion than the average person. Instead, they’re in the cause to fill the emptiness in their lives and feel they’re doing something important. The community they form with similarly-minded zealots also addresses their loneliness. Passionate about causes they know little about, these people get in the way of advocates who employ sound strategy trying to make positive changes to the world. Wacktivists attack sane people because wacktivists fear their problems being “solved.” What would fill the emptiness then?

Don’t bother going to Creating Change. It’s just a convention of wacktivists.

Whacktivity

Whacktivity-
Any activity which might be considered to be straight up WHACK....such as watching a dog-fight or stealing kids' Halloween candy. Also, anything involving harming children, innocent animals and innocent people in general. Pretty much anything that you KNOW better than to do, such as harmful or even "frowned upon" activity, including theft, vandalism, harassment, etc., but can, surprisingly, involve watching golf and other NON-sports such as NASCAR.

Dave-Hey Mike, let's go over to the mall and snarf hood ornaments off of old Chrysler and Dodge vehicles!
Mike-No way, man! I will NOT engage in such Whacktivity!!
