[rsmbmytb] Unlikeable protesters

I hypothesize activists often acquire unflattering characteristics of personality: self-centered, egotistical, manipulative, disrespectful, unfriendly.

Such characteristics can be used to discredit an activist and deprive him or her of supporters.

Examine the issue from the perspective as one of the very powerful subliminal forces that help maintain the status quo.

Inspired by a contemptuous description of an actual protester at Ferguson, and a feeling of deja vu that those words I have heard before to describe the personality of some influential historical activist.
