Proselytising, wriggling, and ranting
" The Ragged Trousers Philanthropists suggest how much worse it is to be a man of principle trapped in the same system, to know with dreadful clarity what is oppressing and wasting you, but to be powerless to do anything about it, except proselytise and wriggle and rant." Andy Miller (2014), The Year of Reading Dangerously: How Fifty Great Books (and Two Not-So-Great Ones) Saved my Life , London, Fourth Estate: 59.
