The topic is quite explained in the title, but some specifications never hurt

-Did you ever get approached by activists? Of which kind (human-rights, animalists, ecc.)?
-Did (or do) you simply walk past them or stop and start talking with them? Why?
-If you talked with them, did you decide to join their call or not? Why?

I do a nice clean parkour roll over them then keep on running.

I ask them if they have a moment to talk about our lord and savior Tyrone Christ

If they're feminists just saunter up casually and say with confidence "Ladies, ladies, I know why you're so pissed. I know what you want, c'mon this dick wont suck itself."

I thought I was the only one

There aren't that many around where I live, but I usually either pretend to be taking a call or listening to music. One time I pretended to have terrible English, and that seemed to do the trick.

It depends on the circumstances. For a few years I have wanted the opportunity to invite some Jehovah's Witnesses in for a cup of tea and a chat, just because I have no idea what it would actually be like to have a conversation with them, but the one time some knocked on my door I was in my dressing gown and felt really awkward.

In practice, most of the time I avoid eye contact and keep walking, or just accept their leaflets and throw them away later to avoid conflict.

I once pretended that I couldn't hear them over music that wasn't playing.

They backed away slowly.

I nod and smile until they grow tired of me

I tell them to fuck off




and tell them to fix the problems they are activisting and not talk to me.

I did this once. Not invite them into my house, but actually go to their church to see what they were all about. Some of these guys approached me while I was waiting for my train and started out some casual conversation. I thought, what a cool dude asking how my day was without ulterior motives. Then he asked me if I wanted a tour of his church and asked for my phone numbers, so I hesitantly gave it to him. Some weeks after they called me and said if I was free to visit, I said okay and met up with them in this office like place. I was given a brief introduction on the Holy spirit and other jazz which I forgot all about at this point. Then they made me pray and read passages from the bible. Then they tried to influence me to attend their church and get me baptized. So you see, shit was getting awkward. I smiled nodded, gave vague answers until they walked me out. After that they called me twice and I never picked up. I felt bad because they were pretty cool dudes. Probably the same reason that I did not ask too many questions that would lead to conflict.

This other time when I was a newbie at uni I was walking around campus during orientation day. I passed by this stall and a guy approached me to ask if I supported refugees. I was like sure, my parents were refugees so why not. Then he started to interrogate me with these political questions which I had no opinions on so the best answer I could give was "I don't know". He kept going on and on and if he continued on further I would be late for the orientation meet up. So I said fuck it, and signed whatever bullshit he was trying to get me to sign and bought a $3 magazine that he was offering. Turns out, it was a socialist magazine. And the payment and signing was to become a member of the socialist club. And that is why kids you have to learn to say no.

I'm just really shy so I tend to avoid people at all costs when I'm outside going anywhere... So I have yet to have an activist approach me yet

I don't go outside.
