RE: The Social Justice Movement is Its Own Worst Enemy
Here's the problem, and the answer to why your title exists:
"social justice movement's desire to achieve a just society"
SJWs do not want to achieve a just society. They actively work against justice, wanting quotas and special treatment.
When you realize that SJWism is a supremacy movement to help the SJWs themselves (make their gender studies degrees more valuable, make their violently anti-justice viewpoints more culturally acceptable, get more hiring quotas that favor them, etc.), then everything else will fall into place.
"Contemporary Social Justice is Antithetical to Meritocracy"
"the current social justice movement is now exacerbating precisely those injustices it claims to be fighting"
Ah, you already knew all that, then. Well done.
Relevant:
I like your point about the social justice movement being about making gender studies / social justice degrees (yes, there are social justice degree programs!) more valuable. Looked at that way, the promotion of this ideology could be seen to be creating a new industry that, perversely, seems to financially incentivize creating victim groups which are then granted special treatment, entitlements or privileges, financial or otherwise, which encourages the creation of more victim groups.... wash, rinse, repeat. Have to think about that some more, there is definitely a post in there somewhere.

Just finished watching the video you posted, that is some great stuff!
I look forward to the post this spawns.
It would only take a small amount, 1-5%, of claimed SJWs to be in it for this reason, and they could make substantial headway. They've pretty much taken over a bunch of colleges already. The foolish 20-year-olds who will later be ashamed of their Marxism are just providing cover for the real sharks.
I got around to writing that up the other day, you might be interested in it (I split it into two parts due the length, the link to the second is in the first: The Vicious Cycle of Social Justice Indoctrination - Part 1. Part 2 goes into the self-edifying effect of ideology propagation in the educational establishment.
You might also be interest in my latest: Horror on the Horizon - Cultural Misappropriation and The Politics of Oppression.
I'll try to catch up on all those, thank you.
Given that many feminists are sheeple, and incapable of independent thought (perhaps indisposed might be more precise than incapable), the supremacist ideology that impels the movement is clearly imposed on them, rather than being derived from them. I expect that it is a prong of the fork of D&C being applied to the general population, yet another mechanism that potentiates the fracturing of a society being suppressed for the good of the ruling class.
With this in mind, I have considered how those of us who are not psychopaths, or sheeple, might best utilize this sub-population in order to best govern ourselves.
See my comment below for specific thoughts on how to do that.
Agreed. The younger generation, which make up most of the "footsoldiers" of the new Marxist movements, are not the sources of the ideology. They are just easily swayed into not thinking for themselves since, as you noted, they're not predisposed to doing it voluntarily.
After all, it's hard and often boring, and American Idol is on.
