"First, I want to say that any progress ever made in this country was the work of activists โ€“ years and years of unpaid, un-recognized and thankless work. So please, do not conflate activists with fans, fashionistas, and wanna-bees."

You're absolutely right. A really unfair conflation on my part. Yes, we need a new term. It's the curse of so many issues at the moment that the loud, irritating minority get lumped in with the quiet, sensible majority. I'm usually better at differentiating between the two.

Not sure what revised title to use. I'll try to think of something suitably scathing and report back ๐Ÿ˜

Personally, I would appreciate scathing (cluster-fluck is my favorite). But, I want to draw people in, not turn them away, so... there's that.
