I am on board with the original ideas of the various issues that actually relate to justice, but so many of the SJWs are insufferable assholes openly expressing hate that in some ways I hope they are as miserable as they claim to be. This is probably being largely driven by the Medium writers with a chip on their shoulder who instantly resort to ad homonym rants about the perceived flaws in anyone of isn't one of their loyal silo ditto heads and straw men. What do they call justice?

Yes, it is personal since the "oppressor" of choice is white, male, heterosexual boomers -> me. But I honestly feel for members of any "group" that has that shit aimed at them. You only have to check the news, and I'm thinking of more than the algorithm driven networks to see where that leads.

WTH!? "Allies" Is it a war? They are escalating toward real war. They won't like it when they get it and must wonder every day when they come home if they still have a family.

This is what I find so infuriating. I'm completely on board with the ideals of social justice. I'm probably a bit more pragmatic than some, but I bet on most "woke" issues I'd agree with their stated aims. But then in practice, the things they say and do are so far from anything that might lead to a better, more just world, and are so often contrary to that aim, that it amazes me more people can't see it.

It's not just theoretical, the harm trans activism is doing to perceptions of trans people is palpable, and is showing up in surveys of attitudes even amongst young, progressive people. Worse, it's spilling over onto the rest of the LGB community too.
