I feel like in exploring this topic it might be useful to clearly define what we mean by the phrase Social Justice Warrior. This is a phrase that I have seen thrown around a lot in the past few years. It seems to be a phrase that is heavily mired in confusion. If you want, you can give your own personal definition for the term, and we can use that definition for the rest of the discussion.
I would define it as someone who mistakenly believes they are accomplishing good, when they are doing the exact opposite. That is my cynical interpretation of them.

To give an elementary example from US history, it is incoherent to imagine how Women's Suffrage would have been achieved without any political movement focused on bringing the issue to light.
You're interpreting the past through your current belief system, like everyone is.
Bringing suffering to light is fine, as long as you use it a place to pivot to focusing on empowerment. That isn't what I see with most of these SJW groups. They focus on 100% pure, fresh squeezed, farm raised, victimhood, and keep doing it, ad nauseum. There might be rare exceptions. But I haven't seen many examples of that.
So in the example you brought up, all progress was from focusing on empowerment, and all resistance to it ocurring was the result of focusing on victimhood. Often in these movements it is a brutal struggle to accomplish the empowerment and it is precisely because they focus so strongly on the opposition (playing the blame game). Social progress would happen far quicker if they didn't waste their energy activating a contradictory vibration to their ideal, but it is almost universally unavoidable (because as a species, we are just not that evolved and there is inevitably going to be a degree of spiritual entropy in the direction of ignorance of metaphysical creative processes).

I'm gonna cut you off right there, because I've never personally derived a great deal of inspiration or validity from Q'uo channelings. Conscious channeling is virtually never unbiased and often times just reflects the distorted and very human biases present in the channeler. To be honest, I find that quote completely unintelligible and nonsensical. And by the way, I wasn't stating it as some kind of absolute rule, just as a fitting adage to the context of the discussion. Truly, if an intention were "pure" and non-contradicted, and sustained, attention would naturally gravitate to the correct vibrational focus for accomplishing the intent. However, many people start off with good intentions which then devolve to something that is, shall we say, "less pure". They become side tracked by distractions that disperse any collected energy, which is what you see with most of these SJW movements.
The focus on what is wrong with world just creates more of it, unless you merely use it as a turning point to focus on what is wanted instead. Here's another adage for you: "hate of war won't bring peace, only love of peace will."
