This would cancel all speech about politics though, by anyone.
I'm not sure where you're getting that idea. Many schools of political thought harbor totalizing sects: market capitalism has Randianism, socialism has hardline communism. That doesn't make any of them wrong, and it definitely doesn't make them incommensurate in practical terms; it just means that they're attractive, under the right circumstances, to a personality type with a certain set of preoccupations. It also means that they are, potentially, epistemically dangerous, but that's a separate issue and still doesn't mean they're wrong per se.
My original thought was simply that, the personalities and cultural backgrounds of LW contributors being what they are, a strongly politicized LW would produce more SJWs than opposition thereunto. Am I wrong?
The tone of Lesswrong is against social justice indulging. It has improved this year in this regard and leading to this post.
Where are the results of this year's LW survey?
It doesn't look like they've been posted yet. Historically they've usually gone up Januaryish.
