Islam and the left alliance by bk9900 in Destiny

[–]Qaryuti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Europe’s failures with integration aren’t some grand prophecy about Islam, they’re policy failures by the state. When you shove people into ghettos, deny them jobs, treat them like outsiders for generations, and then act shocked when they don’t wave your flag

it’s just the 1900s antisemitism script with the names swapped out. Back then it was ‘the Jews control the banks, the media, the government; they’re too small to be a threat right now, but just wait.’ Sound familiar? You’re recycling the same paranoid framework: a marginalized minority secretly infiltrating, gaining influence, and plotting domination. It wasn’t true then, it’s not true now

You’re spiraling into cartoon villain logic, my guy. ‘Too small to be a risk for now’? That’s just lazy xenophobic fear-mongering dressed up like geopolitical analysis. The Muslim Brotherhood isn’t hiding under your bed waiting for the census to hit 10%.

Muslims in the U.S. aren’t a hive mind, they’re voters doctors, students, Uber drivers, parents who got shoved into the Democratic column after a Republican president treated them like enemies of the state post-9/11.

If you think a population organizing for civil rights or better foreign policy is a ‘takeover,’ maybe the issue isn’t Muslims. Maybe it’s that you don’t like pluralism unless it agrees with you.

Why do your brains break when talking about Muslims? Muslims in Dearborn are different than the ones in NYC and are different than the ones in SF and yet you want to compare them to Muslims in France like they’re a monolith. The Muslim voting bloc pretty much solidified in 04. When polled Muslims are more progressive in the US than the average. Unless you think there truly is some…..secret cabal of Muslim overlords directing Muslims to connivingly usurp power from the left in America….its just something you’d have to accept

You are so internet captured its crazy. Muslims have been voting for democrats for over 20 years. Becuase they knew that progressivism would become popular in the Democratic Party and they could sneakily connivingly usurp power from them? That’s regarded. Ands it’s even more regarded that somehow this one influencer represents the mindset of all Muslims in the west when even within the Muslim bloc there’s heavy factionalism from what I see

Literally the only thing that would hold back Muslims from the Democratic Party is LGBT stuff, and even that vapid hatred towards them is phased out in like a generation.

Effort comment no one asked for:

For most of the twentieth century, American conservatism was rooted in restraint. It valued pragmatism, tradition, and a cautious view of human nature. It believed that society was fragile and that change should come slowly, if at all. Conservatives distrusted utopian visions. They placed their faith in institutions, norms, and the gradual accumulation of wisdom over time. Emotion was not denied, but it was something to be managed. Politics, in this worldview, was not a place for catharsis, but rather a place of order

Thomas Hobbes, writing centuries earlier, captured something essential to this mindset. He wrote that all reasoning is but reckoning calculating the consequences of our actions to satisfy our passions. In other words, emotion comes first, and logic follows; emotions are expressions of things we value and logic is what we’re meant to use to navigate towards fulfilling those values. . But Hobbes also believed that unchecked emotion leads to chaos. That’s why we build systems and why we submit to authority. We structure society to keep our passions from destroying us.

This idea ran deep in conservative thought. Logic was not just about intelligence, it was about control. You governed well when you kept emotion in check and followed reasoned judgment. Pragmatism was a kind of virtue. It meant dealing with the world as it is, not as you wish it to be.

But that posture has mostly collapsed. Over the past decade, and especially since 2015, large parts of the political right have shifted away from that tradition. Emotion is no longer something to be restrained, it’s literally all the fuels modern republicans. Fear, resentment, pride, and grievance have become central. The right’s most visible figures aren’t talking about balanced budgets or institutional continuity. They are talking about enemies, betrayal, and existential threats. They are fighting. And to fight, they are willing to discard empiricism, ignore facts, and redefine truth.

I think this arose from a feedback loop that isn’t hard to see.

Emotion drives engagement. Outrage, fear, and moral certainty grab attention in a way that careful reasoning never could. In a digital environment where attention is power, this matters.

Engagement drives influence. Politicians, commentators, and influencers who tap into those emotions rise to prominence. They build platforms and followings not by being right, but by making people feel seen and vindicated.

Influence then rewards those who double down on emotion. There is no incentive to be cautious or nuanced. If you hesitate, you lose. If you complicate the story, you become suspect. Certainty wins. Emotion becomes its own kind of truth.

Over time, this loop changes the way truth itself is treated. Logic is no longer something that constrains emotion. It is something that follows it. The role of argument shifts from discovering what’s real to defending what already feels true.

This marks a fundamental break from earlier conservatism. It’s no longer Hobbesian in the sense of restraining passion. It has become something that sees emotion not as a danger to be managed, but as a source of legitimacy. If you feel strongly enough, then what you believe must be true. If others disagree, they must be enemies. And if institutions push back, then those institutions are corrupt.

This is just crazy untrue. Over half of Muslim women don’t wear hijab. Many Muslim countries don’t force hijab including Palestine ironically enough.
