It would probably be useful to go into more detail about the results we’re talking about. In 2013, the survey asked people to rate “Social Justice” & “Feminism” on a scale of 1 (“not at all favorable”) to 5 (“very favorable”). “Social Justice” got an average of 3.6, “Feminism” 3.8. 61% of people rated “Social Justice” 4 or 5; 58% rated “Feminism” 4 or 5.
I’m not sure those averages & percentages are quite high enough for someonewrongonthenet to conclude “most LW just thought social justice issues were obviously true”, but I can see why they see it that way.
Edit: it’s also quite possible that someonewrongonthenet, Lumifer, and LW as a whole have different referents in mind when they see the term “social justice”.
The LW census did have a question about how people see SJ as a whole.
