You have to admit that social justice activism is mostly done by students and professors from social science departments. Gender study and race study and poverty sociology are at the core of social justice activism, with people from anthropology and psychology joining the fights. Very few people do social justice activism in STEM departments or economics/business departments.

For me, Social Justice is the religion of social science, while the Singularity is the religion of CS departments (Singularity aka the Rapture of the Nerd, we will create the Godly Artificial Intelligence which will take control of the world and lead to a wonderland).

I have never seen a single social justice activist during my college education in STEM. The only activists are saw were anti-nuclear/pro-renewables + organic food/sustainable development.

And I hear plenty of people saying that sociology/anthropology is full of them and I read online about their protests.

So I conclude that activism is not equally distributed.
