Have a look at the conversation. Talking abt ppl who defend Islam, deny problems, throw liberal Muslims under the bus.

Make everything abt how evil the west is. The masochistic self-hating far left.

I understand that. I was offering plausible partial explanations as to how they might have ended up this way
-
I think they end up this way due to the identitarian, academic leftist ideas of cultural relativity, privileged & oppressed groups
-
I don't think anyone gets to this stage via a reasonable route of acknolwedging all problems but focusing more on own group.
-
I think that some at least are motivated by such reasonable considerations but become corrupted by the ideologists you mention
-
It is the ideologues I am talking abt tho.The postmodern left. Those concerned w identity politics & privilege & intersectionality

I think perhaps this has become influential because academic authority is mistaken for moral authority.

academics tho, even in social/humanist disciplines rarely seem to be motivated by genuine concern for how to live a moral life.
