“Lived experience” is both their highest form of evidence and a weapon with which to beat critics. Fairly certain that we have the critical race twats to thank for its rise to prominence.

I got into an argument with someone who should know better about falsifiability and the range of social justice topics, and it is ridiculous how unfalsifiable or actually falsified theories (patriarchy, gender identity, etc etc) are not only accepted as true, but are also used as the basis for policy making. I think Andrew Doyle is right to draw parallels between the SocJus crowd and the Salem Witch Trials and Puritans.

And the weird thing is, people who would happily apply proper methodologies to all other aspects of their life are only too willing to accept the guff that passes for research and evidence when it comes to the socjus stuff.
