We always have a choice to be a better person. Also watch out who is inspiring us.
Let’s talk about the REAL activists first,
· It is always “good vs bad”.
· They fight for equality and fight against people who dominate considering factors like age, gender, caste, religion, and economic strength.
· They fight against the source of the problem and also contribute towards providing the solution.
· They do not blame or talk against the entire category; they only talk about the source/root cause of the problem.
· They educate and provide awareness about the issue.
· They always support and empower the underprivileged or who need support around them.
· They collaborate with others to learn and to find out the best possible ways to address the issues or to help others who are in need, by any means.
· They inspire others by showing the results/change and they educate others to fight for their rights.
· They are selfless and they always work towards the betterment of the society.
Will list out few real activists and their contributions (Source — wiki) –
· Sunitha Krishnan is an Indian social activist and chief functionary and co-founder of Prajwala, a non-governmental organization that rescues, rehabilitates, and reintegrates sex-trafficked victims into society. Krishnan works in the areas of anti-human trafficking and social policy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunitha_Krishnan
· Kailash Satyarthi is an Indian social reformer who campaigned against child labour in India and advocated the universal right to education.

Coming to the Fake activists,
· It is always “One category vs Another category” (men vs women, old vs young, rich vs poor etc).
· Fake feminists are part of this gang.
· Gaining attention is their only purpose. Personal benefits are being fulfilled using that attention.
· They scream out loud about the problems, but their contribution towards solving the problem is nil.
· They do not educate or provide any awareness about the issue.
· Mostly they do things for seeking attention, they may choose trending problems to scream about to make better use of the situation.
· They always blame the entire category for one person’s mistake and portray it as if they are protecting the society.
· They dominate using factors like age, gender, caste, religion, and economic strength. They always use other’s weaknesses to grow or to create a good impression.
· They will not collaborate with anyone to provide or to contribute towards the solution, they always show that they are fighting alone against the problem.
Some people are not under the above categories,
· Some of them live their dream life without harming others and spread positive vibes.
· Few people just surrender and survive rather than fighting for their rights.
· Few are those unfortunate for whom the real activists are fighting for.
· Few people assume real activists as fake activists or fake activists as real activists and end up in a blame game without addressing any important issues.
· Few people are a mixture of real and fake activists.
· Some are not interested in contributing anything to the betterment of the society.
