I'm sure most hope it will be a cancellable offense in the near future. My opposing goal is to inject skepticism into people's perception of activists.

That's sweet of you to say, thanks.
- sweetheart 5y agoWell you have to admit it doesn’t sound great, right? Without activists, bad things don’t go away. I’m not gonna list things because we can both think of some terrible things that were brought to light, ended, or significantly reduced thanks to activists. Sure, there are activists who I would argue are trying to make the world worse, or activists who can be offensive, or just plain bad at being an activist. But what I hear when people say “I don’t like activists” is “I’m fine with the way things are”, which sounds bad because “the way things are” can be so, so horrific for so many people and animals. (I’m on of those vegan animal rights activists you hate so much ;)
