Social Justice Warriors (or SJWs for short) are a particularly interesting recent development on the left. The typical SJW is a teenager to twenty something, probably female, most likely either unemployed or in a minimum wage position, possesses some level of college education (often in the humanities or liberal identity politics-based classes like African American sdtudies or women's studies), and seeks to validate herself through zealous online left wing political activism as a hobby. The primary habitat of the SJW is the neutral and left wing social media, most typically including Facebook, Twitter, LiveJournal, and Tumblr.
Their position is essentially a particularly rigid and dogmatic amalgam of many independent leftist doctrines and can be characterized as: pro-abortion; Malthusian; pro-feminism; pro-selective personhood*; pro-selective equality**; pro-unlimited marriage rights; anti-nuclear family; pro-fat acceptance; pro-disability acceptance; pro-trans acceptance; anti-military; anti-national boundaries; proto-Socialist; and semi-Puritanical***.
I say position in the singular because even SJWs breaking - even accidentally - from the current interpretation of Social Justice (as distinguished from actual social justice work done by academia and social service professionals) will lead to the offender being treated as a hostile non-member. Common tactics used in dealing with non-members who prove incapable of recruitment include dogpiling, doxxing, cyberstalking, contacting the non-member's place of business and/or employer, and legal harassment.
*Dolphins are people. Trees are people. Unborn puppies are people. Unborn humans may be people on a case by case basis.
**It's one of the few egalitarian movements that actively pushes for the adoption of a complex caste-based social hierarchy in which your permanent social role and individual worth are assigned according to biological sex, gender, orientation, disabilities and personality disorders, ethnic makeup, skin color, birth culture, national origin, native language, difficulty of childhood, and level of conformity to Social Justice thought.
***This is most easily illustrated with the attempt to remove any behavior or idea of a possibly offensive (or "triggering", in the parlance of the movement) nature from speech, art, the natural world, and every other aspect of life.
