Some political activists do not actually strive for social justice and the support of under-privileged groups or people but rather endorse or express violence for the satisfaction of their own ego-focused and antisocial needs . . .

They…use activism as a vehicle to satisfy their own ego-focused needs instead of actually working toward social justice.
