Do SJWs suffer from mental illnesses?
It would seem that almost all supposed SJWs (Social Justice Warriors...often a derogatory term for people who seem to be far too outspoken and derisive about perceived (whether real or actual) social issues such as race, gender, etc.) suffer from one mental illness or another. They often admit to their mental issues as badges of courage and as qualifications to fight for social justices, regardless of whether or not it is non sequitur to their causes.
What differentiates a SJW from a true champion of social equality? Let's turn our attention towards one of the greatest champions of social equality, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Why were his words and speeches so very well received by many people? Why did he have the power to persuade people? It is because he understood and spoke to many different people whose positions were varied. His ideas were not necessarily everyone is this or that. He understand that people came from all sorts of differing degrees of positions on social issues and he spoke to all of them calling on all, through very carefully crafted and nuanced words. Things are not simply black and white. Societal constructs cannot be separated into Oppressors and Oppressed.
So this brings me to another point. What do supposed SJWs universally suffer from, mentally? Really, I am asking what qualifies someone to be called an SJW. Fighting for social equality for an oppressed demographic is NOT despicable nor should it be viewed as anything but good. No, I'm talking about a particular type of person whose vision is narrow and whose words and actions are anti-social and divisive.
Splitting (also called black-and-white thinking or all-or-nothing thinking) is the failure in a person's thinking to bring together the dichotomy of both positive and negative qualities of the self and others into a cohesive, realistic whole. It is a common defense mechanism used by many people.[1] The individual tends to think in extremes (i.e., an individual's actions and motivations are all good or all bad with no middle ground).The concept of splitting was developed by Ronald Fairbairn in his formulation of object relations theory;[2] it begins as the inability of the infant to combine the fulfilling aspects of the parents (the good object) and their unresponsive aspects (the unsatisfying object) into the same individuals, instead seeing the good and bad as separate. In psychoanalytic theory this functions as a defense mechanism.[3]
Here is a nice write up about Splitting from Dr. Neel Burton:

Please discuss SJWs, true champions of social justice, and anti-SJWs. It seems to be a hot topic today. What are your opinions about all of the above 3 types? Do you agree with my opinion about Splitting? Etc.
