Action without awareness is flailing. They have become very efficient at conducting direct actions. Give them a gun to 'make people go to sleep' who 'are angry and need a nap' - and they would make a very effective death squad.
But that is the extent of it. They aren't actually changing anything they want changed. They've been duped by words like "colonialism" or "patriarchy." They spend their time "fighting" and not any time actually doing. Consider how many of them wanted to travel as missionaries or the like to assist developing countries... Now what are they doing? Throwing milkshakes at people who want to secure the border.
By keeping a laser pointer on an issue - they distract from the reality beyond that tiny spot of focus ... That these activists - perhaps naive, but well intentioned at the start, have been completely led away from their initial goals and ambitions to be conscripted into a war they never truly signed up for.
