Won't speak for your OP, but from my perspective most Social Justice Warriors embrace the term, even if it is thrown at them derisively from the other side. Same thing goes for being "Woke" -- it is a term and mindset that they embrace.


Yeah, pretty much. My comment was not about trying to put a blanket statement on anyone that defends any kind of progressive policies. I am referring to the fundamentalist "activists" and those that turn Progressive/Liberal values to an extreme core point of their identities.


I notice you don’t get specific. Is the vague language designed to obfuscate what you really mean?


No. The vague language is to avoid getting caught in fruitless conversations with some holier-than-thou puritanical clown who will comb through any comment I make with the intent of showing how something I said is an unforgivable sin.


So what I said then.


"SJWs are the puritans of the 21st century." What's vague about that? The fact that you are trying to police me show that it doesn't take much to have such a good sample of the statement.
