made-up term for the sake of presenting an early-stage concept in somewhat relatable language, conveying the idea of a group of people fighting for justice.

if the concept were viable, no doubt its evolution would do well with an upgraded terminology...

Sort:  

How does it differ from "social justice warrior" or is it a different terminology for the same activities?

I love how just when I was tempted to think how genius I was with this idea, you step in with questions like these and I start getting tempted to feel dumb again... lol.

truthfully, I'm not sure. I grasped the overview concept, though didn't get into details with definitions like this.

scanning over "Social justice warrior" on wikipedia, I'd say there are probably some key distinctions. i.e. though whereas wiki says

"a pejorative term for an individual promoting socially progressive views, including feminism, civil rights, multiculturalism, and identity politics."

it wouldn't be so much about ideologies as much as straight-out busting corrupt, illegal activity sliding under the radar.

or

"The accusation of being an SJW carries implications of pursuing personal validation rather than any deep-seated conviction, and being engaged in disingenuous social justice arguments or activism to raise personal reputation, also known as virtue signalling."

this really wouldn't have anything to do with personal validation or activism in the traditional sense, as much as establishing a sort of decentralized police force effective at catching crimes that the conventional system has been ineffective in addressing.
