WSB was heavily pushing the "fight against the injust hedge funds" narrative and the way that community speaks is a pretty big indication that they don't normally align themselves with SJWs.

sorry I thought Social Justice Warrior is a term for 'people who rally to do good for the society but are just a bunch of fools'
I guess that is how the term is defined by people who dislike them, but I think the core motivation is social progressivism and generally left leaning politics. SJWs are unlikely to favorably compare themselves to 4chan or use the n-word and r-word. I don't think the heart of WSB is particularly political, but it certainly gives off vibes that are closer to the alt-right than SJWs.
ok, I didn't know it's left or right term... wtf the word seems to be like 'feel-good-fool' but seems there's more to it
SJW is a very politically charged term.
