Someone who upgraded their opinion to a lifestyle.
means Someone who fights aggressively and assertively for a cause, favoring confrontation over compromise.
from From Latin 'militare,' meaning to serve as a soldier — itself rooted in 'miles,' soldier. The word marched into English in the 1400s still wearing its military coat, used literally for those engaged in warfare; by the 1800s it had been drafted into political and social struggles, describing people who treat causes the way soldiers treat campaigns — as something to be fought for, not merely believed in.
