How do you feel about Social Justice Warriors, and the Social Justice movement in general?

"Justice" is a terrible concept in the first place. Instead of practicality, it focuses on a strange system that assigns a score to every individual (sometimes also called "karma", "privilege" or a number of similar terms), and the individual with a higher score owes something to the individual with the lower score, so after the exchange (ideally) their scores equalize.

The system was heavily criticized even in the Medieval times, when a multitude of militaristic and monastic orders based their entire lives around upholding "justice", leading to very questionable legal stances and behaviors. Nowadays, in the age of science and technology, it should have no place in a civilized society.

It is the idea of "justice" that leads to rulings such as "Your ancestors were oppressed 200 years ago, so now you can demand compensation from the oppressors' successors", or "This peasant has kept more vegetables than he deserved, hence the lord should appropriate his farm".

How do I feel about any sort of justice movements or activists? The following picture gives the answer:

Terrible, they're always talking about race, gender, sexuality, etc. In fact they're often the only people in the room who actually care about those qualities in a person.
