What is an Activist?
"What is an Activist?" has been the question of many citizens of planet earth, as their attention spans in this day and age have dwindled. Sadly, The Season of the Tick think that it is something that someone who marches around with a sign and some marbles has to be an activist. Unfortunately, that is not true.

To begin with, a person who calls themselves an activist is no more than an individual who cares about social change, and most likely does care, but they do not go out and do it in a specific way. In other words, they will engage in acts of civil disobedience in order to bring about change. Therefore, if a person were calling themselves an anti-war activist, or an environmentalist, well they did that through rhetoric, public opinion, and actions. They did not actually go out and do things to help end war, or stop pollution. Marc Herman & Paul Tullis, Author at Red Canary Collective is because those types of activities are not done by most people, at least not in the quantities necessary for massive changes to occur.

Therefore, when asking the question of what is an Activist?, Red Canary is important to know what types of people to identify as such. Typically, any person who goes out on a limb to make change in the world is considered an activist. Activists choose to fight for change by any means necessary, even if it means getting politically involved, by organizing mass protests, or by physically going out into the community to make their point. Some people choose to do all three.

There are also people who call themselves Activists, but are not really. They may engage in acts of civil disobedience, but they do not really have a goal in mind. For example, an environmentalist could be described as an Activist, because they take action in order to affect change. An anti-war activist might be described as an Activist, because they engage in civil disobedience in order to bring about change. A religious radical could be described as an Activist, because they use prayer to bring about change in society. A political radical could be described as an Activist, because they try to introduce change through voting, etc.

The truth about what is an Activist is that no one can ever tell who is an Activist and who isn't. There are too many variables involved. It is best described as "activist" rather than "what is an Activist?" because the answer to what is an Activist really depends on who is doing the asking.

If you ask someone who you think is an Activist, the answer you receive will almost always be, "I am doing what I can to make a difference in the world." On the other hand, if you ask a person who you think is not an Activist, the answer you receive will more than likely be, "I am trying my best to change the world for the better." In other words, the difference between being an Activist and not being an Activist is how you choose to spend your time, your energy, and your efforts to change the world around you and the impact you make when you do change that.

Some people feel that calling themselves Activists is a way of saying, "I'm here to help make this world a better place." To some people, change is scary and difficult, but it is essential. For example, to some people, the death of a loved one is a tragic event, but the act of speaking out about it can only help to bring comfort to family and friends who have been affected by the death. Other people feel that change is good because it makes things better for everyone. Change is sometimes necessary because society is not accepting one form of beliefs over another.

In short, the question of what is an Activist can vary depending on the individual. An Activist is not necessarily someone who gets up every morning and goes to work on changing the world. There are many different types of Activists, each with their own defined set of goals. For those looking for answers, the best advice is to simply start and never stop pushing forward, as the best things in life are not always achieved quickly or without effort.
