When a group or organisation is infiltrated by those representing minority interests in such a way that they gain significant influence or control and then use this to push their desired agenda.
Activist capture is usually a deliberate process initiated by outsiders of the group or organisation. Tactics include: *Making demands for representation, often citing a lack thereof
*Calls for allyships
*Forming of a bloc that is used to drown out individual members and amplify their own voices
* Liberal use and accusations of "isms" and "phobias" designed to force compliance through fear
*Threats or intimidation if the above doesn't work
Activist capture is a strategy used when it is highly unlikely that a brand new group representing activist interests will gain anywhere near the power or influence of the existing one.

Get the National nonce capture day mug.Impartial Capturing refers to a political condition in which the ostensible lines of ideological division are not merely blurred or skewed, but disregarded altogether. Most pronounced in the United States, where lobbying groups and political action committees finance candidates and policymakers across the full spectrum, it ensures bipartisan capture and near-total domination of policy. The arbitrary distinctions so often drawn between Republicans and Democrats become little more than stagecraft, designed to perpetuate the illusion of democratic choice while masking the deeper reality of systemic subservience to well-funded interests. Organisations such as AIPAC exemplify this mechanism, distributing influence across both parties to guarantee that their priorities remain unchallenged, irrespective of electoral outcomes. Though its clearest expression is found in America, variants of this phenomenon exist in other nations, where capital similarly transcends ideology to shape consensus, leaving the theatre of politics to obscure a predetermined order imposed by financial power.
In 2024, the U.S. military lobby spent about $151 million, spreading its influence across both parties. Defence contractors and their PACs donated approximately $43.5 million directly to candidates, with Democrats receiving roughly $19 million and Republicans $22.4 million. Lockheed Martin’s PAC split its funds 42% to Democrats and 58% to Republicans, while Raytheon gave 46% to Democrats and 54% to Republicans. This bipartisan distribution ensured industry priorities would be safeguarded regardless of electoral outcomes, a clear example of Impartial Capturing.

Get the Impartial Capturing mug.When a large enough crowd of lower quality people enter a space and start shitting it up until all the talented and / or experienced people leave from the stink, thus creating an unearned monopoly on the space for themselves. Proven a highly successful strategy to take over and destroy what remained of the West's modern intellectual, technological, and social landscapes.
I used to work in the AAA games industry until millennials came of age and shit-captured it. Now it's just midwits and diversity hires producing buggy, soulless, politically-correct shovelware.
