I think your take on it is funny but has more to do with how social justice being part of a cultural mainstream has affected brunch in rich neighborhoods. Among themselves, social justice are capable of having conversations about race and gender that are not just circle-jerks about how they hate themselves for being cisgendered heterosexual white people but instead how to not be accidental assholes based on those relative privileges. The social justice fan becomes the social justice warrior when those people are put around people who don't have those conversations all the time and start decrying others as oppressive racists or sexists for not having the same depth of interest in the subject that they do and in turn not thinking in all of the ways they've created to more comfortably actualize themselves. (Key point "themselves" since not everyone is having the same human experience even if the problems they discuss might be universal.)
