which isn't necessarily true - it is for "mainstream activism", that is
activism that is actually supporting some governments or parties, who,
in turn, aren't actually that much different from their opposite side.
OTOH, "grassroot activism", of anarchist/antiauthoritarian basis, isn't
left- (nor right-) oriented and campaigns a lot on the theme.
And in the current non-information world, even the simple "talkin' about"
is a form of campaigning.
