Toronto's Social Justice Warriors Hypocrisy Exposed

Meow everyone. In my last article, I showed you  who and what a professional protestor is, and does. I outlined what motivates them  and what they actually do. In this segment,  you will see a stark contrast between the professional protestor and “ The Activist “ . You will notice right away that the description of a real activist is far shorter than what was outlined for the professional protestor. This is not for a lack of ability to offer a description, but rather, to show that simply, the real activist does not need a lot of fan fare, does not have a huge ego to boost, is not interested in  public recognition. Indeed, the real, activist just gets things done.

The Activist

In stark contrast to the professional protester, the activist uses a vastly different approach to achieve a desired change. Protesting by marching back and forth, chanting with a Bristol board sign stapled to the end of a broken hockey stick will accomplish very few  things. It will certainly guarantee  sore feet, possibly a lost voice and,  likely, a police presence. The activist uses a much different technique to gain support and accomplish the goal they set out to do. The activist does a great deal of research on the subject at hand. The activist then gets an opportunity to make either depositions or full presentations before committees that HAVE the power to make changes. The presentations are filled with verifiable facts, are made in a manner that is respectful of the persons and the process in which the presentation is made, is willing and in fact, encourages dialogue, but the most important difference between an activist and a simple protester is the  protester is out there to protest. The activist not only presents the problem, but rather, keys the presentation  on the real, workable solutions to fixing a problem. The activist does all of this without fan fare, without the need to yell, scream, create havoc and, the activist is approachable and confident. The  real activist often works alone but yields high results as a result of the quality of the work. Here is a great example of what REAL activists do, accomplish and do it without fan fare, cameras and  media attention.

Occupy Toronto failed in this area as well because real activists were greatly discouraged from not only having a voice, but also, from airing concerns that the leaders of this obedience cult  did not want heard or aired. In fact, great steps were taken to ensure that only certain persons were heard and equally, certain persons were shut out as much as possible, by design. One such very visible example of this was the disability and accessibility committee of which I was a part of, along with another highly regarded and very well known disability activist, Emily Green. Emily and I worked together years before at Pride as accessibility and disability team leaders.  Emily is somewhat of an icon here in Toronto as a disability and accessibility activist and with her area of specialty being public transit. Our transit system in Toronto is more accessible as a result of her work. I was honoured to be partnered with her. Pride does not take just anyone to act as team leaders due to the nature, size and exposure of the event. Something was very wrong with Occupy and we  were about to get a hard lesson on cult tactics.  However, as opposed to the professional protestor who, when frustrated, simply resorts to the old standbys of name calling and cheap insults as their last form of a futile attack, the real activist is just getting started. The word no to a real activist is really  another word for a challenge. Real activists don’t give up and move onto the next cause. They stick with it until ALL SIDES have come to am amicable agreement. This creates allies, good working relationships and longevity towards the task that has been accomplished. The real advocate is not interested in either awards or commendations. It is not about bragging rights. It IS about making a real, noticeable, lasting difference. No free trips, no free cruises, no  free IPhones, no  luxury hotel suites paid for, no expense accounts, no cash bonuses.

The real activist works tirelessly for one reason and one reason only …. To make a real difference

So far, I have given a somewhat detailed overview leading up to Occupy Toronto. However, now, it is time to get to “ Occupy “ itself. The next segment will outline the planning stages for Occupy Toronto.  Stay tuned …………
