I might rephrase it to "causes some well intended strategies for social justice to be ineffective or counterproductive".
"Social justice" could be a good thing(depending on how it's defined), but many of the current strategies nominally aimed at creating more of it, have become dogmatic sacred cows, and have become detached from reality feedback through ideological justification rather than rational merit - and as such may move society into dysfuntionality rather than producing the supposed outcome. Conformity with the groupthink "lest ye be cast out" become more important than real world effectiveness. And you have nailed two of the mechanisms involved in the unanticipated and undesired result.
An example: DEI trainings that have no effect when studied, or which actually increase tensions and decrease trust and cooperation. But they do conform to the latest ideological "shoulds" and framings, and continuing to keep up with the shifting political fads is more important to the purveyors of such trainings, than producing measurable positive results in the real world. So the trainers focus more on things like "go through our materials and change every instance of 'preferred pronouns' to just 'pronouns', because the former has been criticized and is no longer kosher among activists", than on "are we producing more effective and collaborative teams which incorporate diverse viewpoints?"
A collision of statistics and causation vs correlation that brings ruin to social justice efforts.
I get it.

You said it in fewer words, tho.
