I think what they are after is a way to get people to do what they want by a form of extortion where they can threaten them with accusations of violating SJW norms, which are basically anything.
If you are the NSA and you want a backdoor in a project and some developer won't take a bribe you can just have some SJW tar and feather him and get his career destroyed with minimal effort by barring him from any project with the "covenant".
Suddenly the argument is not about the contributor 's code or technical ability but some second hand hearsay about something said at a convention meeting somewhere alleged to be derogatory to someone. It's like you can push a button and trash someone's career with no trial this way.
Comment on: Cultural Marxism and the attack on the OSS community
It's from 15 years back, but the essay " Why there is a culture war" ties it all together. The SJW thing is derived from the writings of Antonio Gramsci who was a famous Italian communist in the 1930s who argued for undermining capitalism through revolt against "hegemonic values". This is why feminists defend radical muslims. It's because they see them as an ally In fighting to overthrow the hegemonic value system which is Capitalist European Christianity, good and bad, all of it, by any means necessary.
The best way then to point out the flaws in the SJW agenda is that there is no definition for what is abuse or offense and no way to dispute the validity of an allegation or even if rhe alleged act occurred.
The offense could be anything perceived, hearsay made up or otherwise so it is just a means for enabling someone with a lack of scruples to threaten, libel and replace individuals within an organization.
