A lot of the activists are docile lambs and corporate ladder climbers inside the companies.

Their activism focuses on saying the right words and dis-empower Gen-X and older.

Is that how you characterise the activism at bandcamp, which said "maybe this racist list of 'funny names' is racist, and maybe we shouldn't do that?"

Because, to write off 'how about not being racist' as "saying the right words and dis-empower Gen-X", or "[using] a platform for their own interests" is ...

racist.

And being anti-racist is political activism, and that's good.
