To the extent that social justice is about collective justice rather than individual justice, it is unjust. Sometimes those things coincide and social justice is just when they do.

Because I see little nexus between employees advocating against AI arms sales to some „individual“ or „collective“ right, unless it’s the individual war lord‘s right to aerially decimate the collective. Alternatively, maybe „SJW“ is just a pleasantly blank canvas, pliant to change meaning to whatever is currently needed when one is unwilling to argue the actual case? With the added benefit of inverting the usual moral framework, because arguing for what’s considered „good“ now becomes the meat of the charge against the speaker.
