If you moderate the Matthew Effect, you will moderate Social Justice Activism.

We can work from both ends. Corruption, for instance, might add to the Matthew Effect (securing monopoly rents through favorable regulation, e.g.). In that case we can treat the cause. But, where we cant treat the cause, we can treat the symptoms.

My thesis: social justice activism is no longer about redistributing wealth; it's about redistributing pride. This is because everyone's needs are met in practice, and pride is essentially the only benefit to getting more than one's needs. At least in the WEIRD regions of SJWs.

I know lots of people who don't feel like their needs are met. They are in and out of employment, and never sure where the rent is going to come from, or how they're going to make Christmas fun for their kids. Maybe we know different people.
