Yes. This is downstream of the end of the Cold War and the War on Terror. As it became clear that there was no global working class ready to overthrow the Western order, leftists needed another revolutionary class to fantasize about. They began to fantasize about Muslims. https://t.co/EvLWJIHzZ0

Mostly agreed. The left began to fetishize Muslims to a truly bizarre degree after the Cold War.

That’s why (in large part) feminism transitioned to, “A burqa is feminist! All men are rapists, so women should not go out alone! Any skin showing is sexualization!” and such. All part of a larger trend that Noah mentions above.

Terrible stuff.
