>What's also amazing to me is seeing this culture defended by the left

You're going to need a citation for that. Projecting such a large claim against such a large heterogeneous blob of people with absolutely zero evidence to back it up should not be acceptable on HN

It's amusing and somewhat annoying to see people attempt to categorize all Muslims as wanting to destroy the rights of women in the US while the rights of women in the US are under very real siege by Christian fundamentalists tearing apart bits and pieces for things like reproductive rights.

The left isn't afraid of Muslims in the US because not only are they usually more progressive than their fundamentalist counterparts but also because they're a minority population with very little political power.

It's a rather disengenous argument. I see very little fear or animosity pointed towards the groups that are actively in power and trying to tear things down versus the scapegoat being blamed for the actions of another country.

They do that for example, by disolving a claim with intelectual dishonesty, expecting effort of proof for a group that shows - beside cheap words - near zero effort to back away from bad actors and bad principles/traditions.

Like if I where to claim that not all facism is racistic, because facism was historically a very heterogenous blob of people with absolutly zero evidence to back up that they all where as racistic as the nazis. Then i would be wrong.

To some ideologies, there is no right to repair, because the basic concept subverts human rights and democracy.
