There may be some truth to this, but it also panders to the reactionary HN userbase perfectly with its promotion of the stereotype of the inauthentic social justice warrior. Social justice warriors are inauthentic by their very definition, as opposed to social justice activists. That and no one needs to promote the stereotype, they do a fine job of it themselves. no social media, no having fun, no heroes, toil in silence else you're doing it for ego The difference is that social justice warriors most of the time are predominant or exclusive in those dominions. They're unproductive and sometimes even actively harmful to their own respective moments, as they are essentially all living and breathing straw men. It's a very religious attitude in many ways- if you're doing something that is righteous, you need to suffer for it, for reaching the objective is its own reward. There's nothing righteous about what they do. It's narcissistic and self-indulgent.
