That’s why they demand everyone else pay for their ABC, and scream if there’s ever a suggestion they’ll have to pay to watch their preferred programming on Foxtel.
Human rights become a negotiable point, too, if a social justice warrior’s income is threatened.
ABC luvvie Jane Caro became infuriated last week when China put a massive tariff on exported Australian wine. That tariff was a response to Australian pressure on the Chinese communist dictatorship to allow a coronavirus investigation.
But instead of taking the side of a democracy against totalitarianism, Caro blamed Australia:

On a related note: Caro’s husband runs a vineyard exporting to China. Sorry, Uighurs! Apologies, jailed human rights activists! You know how it is, Hong Kong!
Rich social justice warriors are great fans of refugees. But their fondness for refugees only extends to those from foreign lands who they have never met.
The more local the refugees, the more your social justice warriors want them kept at bay. The Saturday Telegraph’s Vikki Campion took this crowd down.
“On the week that Warringah renewables zealot Zali Steggall featured in Vogue for her blinkered beliefs on wind and solar, the Mosman community that voted for her howled down suggestions the ‘village’ should take housing commission tenants. No wonder she won,” Vikki wrote.
“Here is a closed-border approach philosophically against taking in impoverished families who cannot afford market rent anywhere, while expecting them — and the rest of us — to pay more to keep the fridge on.
“It’s endemic of a group who don’t care for ‘the environment’ rather only their own personal comfort.”
Status: true.
Millionaire social justice warrior and actor Miriam Margolyes likes poor people and their surrounds for aesthetic reasons.
“Cuba’s capital is, I think, the most beautiful city I’ve ever been to,” Margolyes last year told Qantas’ in-flight magazine. “It’s falling apart because the government is so poor.”
But to Margolyes, poverty is a feature — just so long as she’s looking at it rather than living it.
“You know how decrepit houses are often adorable and endearing to look at?” Margolyes continued. “Havana is like that.”
Well, hooray for communism, then. It may have killed millions and enslaved millions more, but at least it’s photogenic.
Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton has spent much of this year confidently talking up various social justice causes. In Bahrain on the weekend, however, he suddenly turned all hesitant and uncertain.
The reason? He was asked about a proposed $10 million per season F1 driver salary cap.
Hamilton is currently negotiating for a new contract with Mercedes. Something around $53 million. Social justice just became very personal.
