SJW: Most Abused Term Ever?

Way overused to begin with... how is it a bad thing, secondly?

Jesus, Ghandi, and MLK were all undoubtedly SWJs and some of histories most important figures. The real question is, what kind of person has no interest in social justice and equality?

Oligarchs, tyrants, and fascists are the only types I can think of and (as much as the left often paints the right that way) there are very few human beings that really fall into those categories.

Meaning... pretty much only 15 year olds and mental 15 year olds, who just came off reading Ayn Rand, actually fall into that category - with the exception of a few third-world dictators.

The term is used ironically. Most of these people don't actually care about social justice (especially not in the third world where millions are ACTUALLY suffering and oppressed). Rather, most are overly spoiled 1st world Millenials who have it so well that they feel guilty and that they must take on some precieved "cause" either real or phony - though even if it is a real cause much of this just resorts to being a "keyboard warrior" and yelling at others who don't see things the way they do. There's also this sort of warped perception of supporting groups they PRECIEVE as repressenting social justice but in fact do a lot more harm than good (3rd wave feminist extremism, BLM, muslim extremists, etc).

Obviously most decent human beings ACTUALLY care about REAL social justice..

The problem with these people is they use this pesudo fight for social justice in order to - silence free speech/police language, enforce their views and policies on others, segragate and compartmentalize everything and everyone into groups (usually race/gender), divide and marginalize people into either oppressor or victim, and demean/shame/slander those who don't follow their way of thinking. To me most are little more than the left's mirror image or far right racists, religious right puritans, and authoritarians.
