What about a pacifist militant? Or a human rights militant? It could seems a sort of paradox, but these kind of activists are often strongly determined in doing much more than simple expressing their ideas for a better world. Even if they refuse using any kind of violence, often it is necessary to take concrete action to stop someone else violent acting, using the so called passive resistanceWe may be militant for human rights, for avoidance of nuclear weapons all around the world, for green revolution but in the other hand some people would be violent militants below the umbrella of "defending national teritories" or "defending national identity"That is human natureThe word militant doesn't always refer to violent and political acts. There are some everyday situations that make people act in a militant way. Are there any daily annoyances in your life that would encourage you to challenge authority?
