Yes, I've noticed this also. The prevailing mood now appears to me that one must be an "activist" and that if one is not, and doesn't want to get involved in "protests" , marching, spouting stuff on Twitter etc then the view is that there is some sort of moral deficiency in one's nature!!!
I wonder how many of these "activists" and "protesters" actually treat people around them with respect and kindness on a day to day basis? Help an elderly neighbour for example?
Those who do don't tend to go on spouting how virtuous they are and condemning others who live quietly, decently and don't want to get involved with rioting and marching.
