I agree for the most part, not sure about your SJW rap, but the problem we have is lumping ideas/beliefs into groups and then defending those groups instead of the beleifs. The beliefs are sacrosanct because they happens to be in that group, not because they hold merit on their own. Often these beliefs are only mildly ideologically connected in the first place.
People regard these ideas as being like in kind if they're in the same group, but every party/religion/human construct is a motley assortment of dissimilar beliefs. They're just beliefs. Every belief should be held up to scrutiny.
I think understanding how to logically reason and knowing the human psychological traps that we all fall into help us avoid them. Things like being individually cognizant about the Bystander effect, Ingroups/outgroups and the Broken Window theory help me make informed decisions every day. I'm sure I fall into all kinds of logical antipatterns, and I want people to point them out, not simply nod, grimace or unfriend me.
