One suspects that the history of actual tyrannical robber barons might demonstrate some flaws in this argument.
The point is that "actual" tyrannical robbers are bad - and there's no denying that... but so are those who are worse in the name of "good".
And how exactly is the "sjw religion" worse in the name of good? I get it. You don't like people calling you out if you do shitty things. But that doesn't make it worse than robber barons. Or even in the same ballpark.
Or do you agree that peoples lives should be destroyed if they do something you disagree with? Mobs of people calling the friends, family, work places, etc of someone who dares do something you disagree with?
I personally know someone who works in a rescue... someone got a bug in their butt that she did something "wrong". She's been hounded for weeks by The Righteous who have the Holy Word that she did "wrong" - no matter the nuances about what happened.
You can ignore the violence, the mobs, the hounding and the overall shitty attitudes of the SJW Religous... but they are literally the modern day Crusaders who have The Holy Decree to destroy the Heathens.
You want to know how SJWs are worse in the name of good? Open your eyes and look at all the "worse" done on a daily basis. I could list dozens or hundreds of publicly available examples but if you can't ALREADY see them without me pointing them out?
For example, to the extent that the various Communist regimes fall under this descriptor, C.S. Lewis may have a point.
Are you dismissing this out of some logical-positivist impulse, because you reject the idea that well-intentioned groups can behave tyrannically, or because you don't think anybody acts with good intentions?
Take the oil and gas industry for example. They have known for 40+ years that they cause global climate change while disavowing it publicly and funding fake scientists and interest groups to spread FUD about it. I think the effects of global climate change will be at least an order of magnitude worse than well intentioned busy bodies. Climate change doesn't sleep.
(You could easily say the same about the tobacco industry, advertising monopolies, social networking websites, etc.)
"they have known about climate change" and those who know about it also have said we'll be dead in 1980... 1990... the seas will rise a dozen feet in 2000 and the snowcaps will be gone in 2010. If the "tyrannical" companies are wrong...

If you want to go that route that Oil Companies are Robber Barons... that would make the GCC doomsayers the "good" guys who are as bad on the other end - and have no problem being as bad with their lies and happy about it because it matches their conscience.
what does that say about the doomsayers? Exxon knew? When did the doomsayers know that their predictions were bunk? They are the "omnipotent moral busybodies" who have no care that all of their predictions are wrong and the damage - past, present and future - of their lies? Who cares because they are "Saving the Planet"...
