I agree with you - far left wokists and zoomers make no sense. And I have a question at the end...

What concerns me is that the OO types put so much emphasis on understanding the narrative of the oppressed to the point where they deny any other narrative can even exist. The situation in Israel-Pal is extremely complex, as is the greater MENA region, and only pushing the agenda of one side actually causes material damage to all. It only makes both sides more entrenched.

Case in point: The recent protesters with signs of "Save us Houthis". The irony is sad. The Houthis would love more than to destroy the US and put everybody under Sharia law of a caliphate - it even says so on their flag. They even brought back institutionalized slavery.

Yet, when pressed with facts, the far left woke retreat to convoluted rhetoric.

You can even see it in your comments - knee jerk rhetoric in the face of a different narrative.

The damage from this is palpable. I no longer believe in the whole "I'm not Anti-Jewish, I'm just anti-zionist" lie. If that were true, then they would be chanting "Gas the Israelis" and not "Gas the Jews". If that were the case then why are there bomb threats against Jewish elementary schools? A 9 year old in Toronto or any other place has absolutely no connection to Israel whatsoever and is another proof point for those who think that radical Jihadi Islam is the biggest threat to society.

So here is my question - what do you think will happen with these young OO types?
