How about Social Justice Extremist?
That said, I've stopped trying to anticipate what people around here want a while ago, I've found it makes things smoother.
For I was an hungred, and ye told me to pull myself up by my bootstraps: I was thirsty, and ye demanded payment for the privilege of thine urine: I was a stranger, and ye deported me: naked, and ye arrested me for indecency.

I still think it's best if we leave the words "social justice" out of it entirely, because, just like "SJW", the term will end up applied to anyone who supports (or says they support) social justice at all, eventually. I'm liking "radflake" but it doesn't sound quite right to me. Maybe just "flake"?

That works.

Here's an idea: Neo-Puritan.

It emphasizes their dogmatism and separates them from genuine progressives.

That works, too.

It also evokes images of conservatism, which, ironically, a lot of them seem to display, in a twisted take on liberalism.

Horseshoe theory in action, after all.

(Who says we only need one term?)
