> You might be too familiar with "activism" as a perjurative

Do people generally regard it as a perjurative? I always assumed it ranged from neutral to positive. I do wonder how off my calibration is sometimes.



> perjurative

Just nitpicking, the word is "pejorative". Kind of a funny mix-up in context, though. (Perjurative would be related to lying under oath.)


Yes they do now. It's like "troublemaker". You're not supposed to activise or make trouble, you're supposed to be a quiet little obedient dog to the system.
