Egyptian blogger Al-Meezan explains how to be an activist in three seconds:
Just make a random mix of talks about the following:
1-Human Rights
2-Women Rights
3-Coptic Prosecution
4-Detained Bloggers
5-Random Personal Experiences
6-Sexual Freedom
7-Resenting Religions
8-Communism and socialist theories
9-Whatever topic others are talking about at the same time, e.g Judges.
10-Egypt is Not an Arabic country
P.S.: Try to use ambiguous vague terms as much as you can.
