Sometimes it's not easy to distinguish between activism and actionism... In addition, the boundaries between acceptable and purposeful and unacceptable and pointless are shifting - at least in my perception in recent years.

I feel more comfortable using the term civil courage. It also implies civilisation, civilised behaviour, etc...

While I agree with this..

Civil courage isn't bad. Sounds like I just heard it for the first time to be honest.

Pointed out shortly:

The strength of character associated with the ability to show moral (civil)courage is demonstrated in practice by the fact that the courageous person must be prepared to suffer personal disadvantages and make painful sacrifices if necessary in order to do so. The courageous person represents the enforcement of social values and norms that are important to them for their own life, for the well-being of others or for the general public. This can include, for example, taking a courageous stand against a popular but not generally shared opinion, standing up for the rights of a weaker person or defending ethical demands. The rebellion against state arbitrariness, which can have serious consequences for the individual, the willingness to demand one's legitimate rights in the family or professional environment, the strength to defend oneself against impositions and to offer resistance, to actively stand up for a cause that is perceived as just, is also generally categorised under this term.
