Wokesters and Jihadists are Match Made in Heaven

All Radicals are Essentially the Same

Preface: Again, I had made this post originally three years ago when French teacher Samuel Paty was beheaded in a most brutal and barbarian way by insane Muslim Jihadist. Now this post gains a new relevance on a background of HAMAS Jihad against Israel.

Already three years ago I got it correctly - the eerie resemblance of Western ‘Woke’ Leftism and Islamist Jihadism. Although two ideologies seem very different at the first glance, in their essence they’re pretty similar - as irrational, radical, violent and dangerous.

For you to see the justice of this my insight, I reproduce my original post here unchanged - just as I had written it three years ago.

Original Article: I just realized that radical Islamists and radical Woke Lefties are the match made in heaven. No wonder both stood for each other so much. Both radical Islamists and Woke Lefties are pathologically incapable of tolerating any critics of their narrative and ideology and indeed any disagreement with them, both are oversensitive and like to control others' behavior rather than their own emotion and reaction, and to impose restrictions on the freedoms of everyone else. Both are extremely illiberal and intolerant.

See for yourself. Radical Islamists just kill everyone who critisize their religion and ideology, simple. Woke Lefties don't go THAT FAR yet but they are canceling and censoring everyone disagreeing with them and questioning their narrative though, and it could be equated to 'online murder' which hideous Twitter hashtags by Woke activists like 'RIP JK Rowling' confirm. Woke Lefties call you 'bigot and racist' when you disagree with them, Islamists - 'sinner and blasphemer'. But the wild rage and intolerance exhibited by both of them are exactly the same. Both Woke Lefties and radical Muslims, instead of learning how to accept constructive fact based criticisms of their ideology, to civilly debate and dispute those which are not fact based, and to reserve a right for a healthy disagreement in case first two options didn't work, want to impose restrictions on the freedom of speech of others, basically ban them from any critics of their ideology. Islamists go even further - they literally kill and eliminate those who critisize their narrative and ideology. Anyway, this type behavior is unacceptable in democratic society and in any healthy and civil society indeed.

But it was funny to realize how much radical Islamists and Woke Lefties have in common. Both of them are cancer of our societies and should be fought against at all costs, or they will turn our Western societies into terrible mix of Soviet Union and Arab Caliphate. Luckily, I am almost sure that majority of people in the West are not supporting the mad bullshit of the Woke Left, they are either deluded and ignorant, or scared and afraid to speak up against it. Anyway, we need to wake up this 'silent majority' and to show the Woke Left monsters that they are actually just loud minority who gained power solely due to the silence of the majority. We need to take this power away from them.

I similarly hope that majority of Muslims and Middle Easterners are not joining in with toxic radical Islamic ideology. We need to wake them up as well and to turn them against this radical bullshit. But in order to do this, all Muslims need to become more critical towards their own religion, stop perceiving it as 'the only truth' in the world, which is perfect and above any criticisms, and to see both advantages and shortcomings of Islam. This would help them to realize the danger of their radical part and to exile the radicals from their rows. As we see, problem is always with radicalism and inability to take criticisms. Heal that, and the world would be healed.
