Participation in the culture war, weaponizing social media, and politicizing every space they pollute. There is no space for science, art, culture, day to day experience, or just fun and joy when they try to recruit every social media user and their content into their cause.
I'm saying this even if I actually do agree with their cause.

Seeing either of those pretty much puts my brain in the same place, even though I agree with the SJW side. Reading people argue about it just stresses me out and doesn’t help anyone. It’s like being in “fight or flight” mode with no option to actually fight or flee. The opposite of the way I feel after a good workout.

I'm assuming they're referencing the type of content they see from opposite sides of the political spectrum. I'm also not assuming any value attribution.
In the context of the comment, it seems that they simply do not want political noise in their social network in any form.

"Political noise" is completely subjective. There was a time within the last 10 years when claiming "White supremacists are a serious problem" got you branded as a SJW.

Ironically they are one and the same: the have extremist viewpoints, resentful and hostile.

They're equally removed from my Facebook feed, along with most other non-local politics. Life is a lot less stressful when you don't get shown the most inflammatory political arguments on the internet whenever you check your messages.
In what way are these 'types' equated?
