Have you ever considered that this notion of all encompassing evil that is projected onto "sjws" is actually self projection?

Given the fact SJW's are repeatedly shown to be spiteful trog's lashing out through a mob of fellow trog's, calling that demographic evil is hardly a projection when clear slights and aversion causing activities can be pointed out against them in regards to moral behaviour.
You have managed to successfully convince me that is not the case at all.

Everyone is the hero in their own story... in other words of course sjws think they are right, and of course we think they are wrong.. and as time goes on the battle lines become entrenched this is simply human nature.
actually it was founded when left wing extremists hacked a website to get into a private PM chat and then said extremists gave out lies or very misleading information. Then the operators of said website rather then punishing the guilty party rail roaded the people in the Private PM. In direct violation of that sites rules and in many cases was a personal betral of the people in the PM who had worked for said website for years.
It was created by people who have very real and very painful grivances with left wing extremism. The fact that actual socialists are allowed here after what the founders went through is an extreme show of tolerance, that we all know would not be recipicated at all.

Sometimes it seems to me to kind of be the opposite, that people on the left don’t like moral ambiguity. They want super heroic flawless heroes and terrible villains with no redeeming features. I sometimes see this in criticisms of certain darker franchises, like 40K or GoT, where sometimes the good guys do bad stuff.
The phenomenon in the video is a little different, but still an observation I would agree with. Where goodness or badness is based on political affiliation rather than how people actually behave. This would be the kind of leftist who thinks that a call for freedom of speech is a trick to let Nazis take over, maybe because when they used to call for freedom of speech it was a trick to let Commies take over.
There is a tendency to dismiss apolitical villains and not take them seriously, where as a villain whose actions have political meaning are hated and seen as serious. For example, someone might say that they like Chaos from Warhammer and nobody would think it’s a big deal, but if somebody said that they liked some straw-sexist or straw-racist would piss people off, even if that character was relatively harmless.

The people on Spacebattles hate us, they lie about us, they openly disparage us in countless ways, and they don’t want us to be able to express ourselves on their site. Why should we stick around for that? If they hate us so much, if they think we’re all a bunch of Nazis trying to take over their site, they should be happy that we left.

"Projection"? Seriously, the best response you can come up with is a "no, you" one-liner? Come on, you're the token "SJW" on this website. Surely, you can do better to represent your own side.
What if your opponents are fundamentally evil though?
I find that even people fully trapped in ideological of bigotry, worship of suffering and disdaine of democracy have at least an impulse towards emancipation, everyone deserves a chance unless they're actively trying to kill you.

I definitely agree. And they also deserve to have a principle of charity applied to them. "Love thy enemy," and all that.

Well, there is denial, that SJWs even exist or have any or much influence and power to begin with.

Yes. And given the rising insanity of SJWs and their kind that denial is reminding me more and more of Baghdad Bob. Aka the one enemy news reporter who, among other things, denied that there were any American tanks in Baghdad. All while, in the background of the shot, Abrams tanks rolled in.
There is a difference between being left and being a communist or SJW.
Most of us are fine with moderate left wingers, but we generally don't like the idea of trying a political ideology that consistently resulted in famine, destruction, poverty, and oppression that failed over a period of a hundred years.
Keep in mind most of our collective bitching is about the extremists who have been fucking with every one not normal people.

It's called gaslighting. It's a common tactic they use.
Well, I'm fine with moderate left-wingers. The problem is that a lot of moderate left-wingers would hate me so much they'd side with the "extremists" against me.
Also, I don't think "SJWs" are the same kind of socialist as the old left, if they're socialists at all.

They maybe just for “regulated capitalism” and with lots of taxes for programs
Not that they will be paying taxes themselves
