      model (probably not a new one) of revolutionaries and activists 1. activists and revolutionaries are predominantly people who are unable to assume another social role 2. the aim of activists is to alter society in such a way that existing roles become available to them, or

      (contd) new roles that they are likely to fit are created 3. the prevalence of activists is frequently a function of the inability of youths to transition to adult roles in particular

      4. for counterrevolutionaries, superficially adapting existing roles to accommodate activists is often a winning strategy (and typically win-win) @sullydish on gay marriage was a classic example of this

      5. hunch is that the current spate of Activism is driven by trends in urban cost of living and job distribution, elite overproduction (they can't all fill elite roles not even close), and economic restructuring; and dissolution of old adult roles the ISSUES are secondary at best

      6. emergent gender and feminist/meninist issues in particular are maybe closely related to the inability of youths to transition to gendered adult roles maybe more thoughts later

      Hmm this is interesting and I think I agree with you However you can also claim an a cause and be an activist motivated by altruism, no? Consider Bill and Melinda Gates etc Maybe this is a noble sacrifice in your model—intentionally donning a mantle you don’t have to

          Follow up thought: probably not wealth that drives that but rather the capacity for idleness married to a felt need to make a change you think is good? You can be poor, attractive, well-adjusted, and not have specific life goals which can drive you to want a fix an injustice

          Excess of compassion or free time can drive you to pick up a cause You can still inhabit normal social roles in the course of this Definitely an outlier tho
