Social justice warrior (SJW) is a pejorative term and internet meme used for an individual who promotes socially progressive, left-wing and liberal views, including feminism, civil rights, gay and transgender rights, identity politics, political correctness and multiculturalism.
The Social Justice Warrior (SJW) made sure that they attended every BLM rally, ANTIFA riot and LGBTQ parade, thinks politicians should be elected based solely on race or sexual orientation and lets their 4-year old decide their own gender.

Get the Social justice warriorsmug. A social justice warrior of the right. These people have similar tendencies as left-wing SJWs. The only significant difference is which groups they are warriors for: for left-wing SJWs it is women, racial and religious minorities, and LGBT people; and for right-wing SJWs it is 'murica, the police, troops, and Republicans.
Sports players who don't stand for the national anthem cause a lot of outrage among right-wing social justice warriors.

Get the Right-wing social justice warriormug. Idiots who try to fight the SJW movement through trying to make bigotry, bullying, hate speech, and degrading comments heroic. Think that anyone who speaks against hate speech is a communist. Yet forget that Freedom of Speech goes both ways. Their ideas of freedom of speech say that there is nothing wrong with saying hateful crap, and that there should be no social consequences for doing so.

Get the Social Justice Warrior reactionarymug. Privileged people who "come to the rescue" and solve all the problems for the LGBTQ+ community and BLM without understanding their needs or history. In short, they have a saviour complex which is a form of supremacy.
Social Justice Warriors have a White saviour complex which is a form of white supremacy. Those are the same people who are wanting to eradicate white supremacy whilst keeping it alive.

Get the Social Justice Warriorsmug. A person who adheres to Judeo/Christian ethics. (ie: To treat others, as you would want to be treated). Has very little tolerance for people practicing amoral, greedy, or racist bigotry . . . intended to give myopic (ie: short sighed) Plutocrats and Oligarchs more and more of the zero-sum pie. Putting on notice people not learning from history, that exponentially growing income inequality will eventually bring out the guillotines.

Get the SJW (social justice warrior)mug. Nassim’s Sword of Social Justice (aka D’Sousa’s Razor)
Identified by Nassim Nicholas Taleb in the Medium article: The Merchandising of Virtue" - May 27, 2017
"Kids with rich parents talk about “white privilege” at such privileged colleges as Amherst –but in one instance, one of them could not answer D’Souza’s simple and logical suggestion: ‘Why don’t you go to the registrar’s office and give your privileged spot to a minority student who was next in line?’
Hence the principle:
If your private life conflicts with your intellectual opinion, it cancels your intellectual ideas, not your private life.
and
If your private actions do not generalise then you cannot have general ideas.
This is not strictly about ethics, but information transfer. If a car salesman tries to sell you a Detroit car while driving a Honda, he is signalling that it may have a problem."
The video Taleb is referencing is:
SO SATISFYING: Dinesh D'Souza absolutely shreds SJW over "white privilege" - Young America's Foundation
Published 09 Jun 2018. Recorded at Amherst College.
If you hold an intellectual ideal, but your real world actions do not reflect or enforce this ideal. Then your actions cancel out this ideological stance. You cannot say to the words "I am a vegan" and claim the moral virtue for such an identity, but occasionally eat chicken. The act of eating the chicken cancels out any moral or ideological virtue or superiority claimed by being vegan.

Student: "We have numbers that demonstrate precisely how much wealth was stolen, and that's money that in some way could be given back."
D'Sousa: "You're willing to have social justice with other people's pay, but you're not willing to pay.
So that's the problem. And that's the problem with the progressivism that marches behind social justice, while protecting its own privileges. You know, how you said, we all have to survive, really, you have to be at Amherst to survive?
You don't have to be at Amherst to survive, you have to be at Amherst to benefit.
You have to be at Amherst because you're getting opportunities at this college that many other people are not getting.
So if you say you believe in equal opportunity, you're a hypocrite because you are taking advantage of opportunities unavailable to others. But for you this hypocrisy is fully justified because you are militating on behalf of the poor. But if it's if you're against privilege - this college is privilege. So there's a glaring hypocrisy, and you will never turn your moral mirror on yourself to say, What am I doing about it?
That's my point. For you - society should act before you do - to enforce your moral code.”

Person A: “I’m a vegan but I occasionally have some chicken.”
Person B: “By the logic of Nassim's Sword of Social Justice - the act of eating the chicken cancels out your vegan claim, regardless of what you say about yourself.”
