I'm sure there are people out there who are really passionate about 'social justice' for noble reasons, although maybe slightly misguided in their ideas to fix it.It does sound as if he has got a bee in his bonnet. But because one chap has reacted like this, it doesn't prove the rule. People can obsess about *anything* to the detriment of family life, whether that be social justice, politics, gambling, conspiracy theories, flat earthism, aliens etc etc (some might say you could add a middling third division football team into that list!).
When the BLM and 'Me Too' stuff were at their height I was still a teenager. Everyone around me my age speaking passionately about it, posting things online, signing petitions, 'raising awareness' etc. It was constant for a few months. Now? nothing. Not a word on those topics for years, despite very little being different now to it was then - they're posting about Gaza now instead. How long will that go on for till they lose interest in that too? It seems to be there are 'in' things to care about, that quickly get ditched as soon as the next thing comes along.
