The good news is, the SJW movement is starting to eat its own (this is but an example). The bad news is they're doing that because they've effectively neutralized just about everyone else, and they're jockeying for the spoils.

Probably true, but they may be developing a backlash, assuming society survives long enough for the backlash to gain steam. For example, the pro-tranny movement exists because there are very few pro-homo battles left to fight, but they're running afoul of the women who supported them when they force women's bathrooms and lockerrooms to allow men dressed as women. They're losing hardcore computer nerds and gamers who were supporting the GayBaconLettuceandTomato because they just had to start attacking video games for being sexist. And on and on. Social Justice Warrior has become a term of derision. We, on the right, could make use of this backlash, but we probably won't because too many on our side are sissies or have a giant stick up the rear end.

The social justice warrior is a boor. He or she must turn everything into a discussion or critique to the one thing that they care about, and ignore all conventions of civil discourse to meet this end. While a predominantly leftist phenomenon, it is practiced by some in all philosophical camps.

Part of the problem is that the right has its own SJW contingent. They're just generally a smaller and less vocal group, but no less real. You can see them here on FR, just look for the tell-tale characteristics:

1) The person generally posts only on a single topic, to the point of steering other discussions back to that topic.

2) The person expresses disdain or hostility toward those who don't devote 100% of their waking hours toward the issue at hand.

3) Any disagreement with the person, even if it is simply on tactics with the same end goals, is met with hostility and an "I'm more pure than you" attitude.
