This is something I have thought about for a while.
A right-winger has a certain set of personality traits, which may actually be genetic: Authoritarianism, black and white thinking, cynicism, conventionalism, rigidity, desire for harsh punishment, hostility towards outsiders, etc.
SJWs often have these traits.
I was originally thinking, because the right in many countries have been hostile towards minorities, that minorities with these personality traits gravitated towards the left and it was bringing those aspects there. Racism is what put them there, though, not a conspiracy just how things go, and addressing racism and other isms would solve the issue in the future and the SJWs would eventually be able to be on the right and be happy there with their white nutjjob friends.
But then, I read one time about how the Republican Party in the late 2000s started employing NATO psychological warfare tactics used in countries to promote regime change, to divide their political opposition in the US, and then I remembered, the first time I ever encountered an SJW was around the same time people started talking about income inequality.
Forward to 2019, here in Canada, the left-leaning government is probably going to fall soon, due to a scandal that, from my investigations, has American fingerprints all over it. Our Conservative Party was taken over by Americans in 2003, so they're a 'Murican party (the Cons used to be decent before the American onslaught), so it wouldn't surprise me if they used similar tactics. It has caused fissues on the Canadian left, that is cracking on racial (white vs non-white) and linguistic (English vs French) lines. This will guarantee a right-wing, probably far-right (even further right than Trump) government unless we can salvage things fast.
It seems for a while now, the right has been trying to crack these fissures, through culture wars, non-binding motions filed in Parliament on contentious issues that not all people on the left agree on, etc.
You think SJWs are agents to bring this forth? I'm starting to think so.
