Many members of the Western left have fooled themselves into believing that they've found a new group of ideological brethren. To be sure, there are some things they align with, but even in the similarities, there are stark differences. These similarities might see them aligned, but these differences will eventually force conflict, and it's a conflict the Western left is pre-programmed to lose.
Since October 7, the left has been out in the streets protesting the "genocide" of the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip at the hands of the Israelis. As most readers understand by now, this is complete and total nonsense.
Israel is not the genocidal party in this war. Without question, the guilty party is Hamas, and they're more than happy to admit that fact. Regardless, the Western left continues to run the narrative that since "Palestine" — a country that does not exist — is "occupied" then violence is "justified."
It should be noted that 1.9 million Palestinians live peacefully in Israel, completely demolishing the genocide narrative. The reverse cannot be said in Gaza. Palestinians can't live peacefully in Gaza thanks to Hamas either, for that matter. The life of a human shield is a stressful one.
Regardless, the Western leftists push forward with the narrative that Israel is the Big Bad Wolf trying to blow everyone's house down and kill the occupants within. In a disgusting way, they appreciate the Hamas propaganda that appears on the internet featuring the dead or injured. Bonus points if they're children because then they can repost that footage and cry, "See, Israel is the bad guy!" This is appreciated by Hamas, which gets free PR from the useful idiots in America.
This has led the Western left to believe that they're somehow allied with the Palestinian people. Too many believe that by cheering on Hamas, they're actually on the right side of history and siding with the good guys.
They believe this so deeply that they've made the Hamas/Israel war an intersectional issue. LGBT activist groups show up at protests to show their support for the Hamas war effort. Black activists believe that Palestine is experiencing the same kind of hate from Israelis that black people experience from white people here in America. College kids refer to Israelis as "colonizers." A solid chunk of the left believes Hamas to be "freedom fighters."
Truly, the left -- and the Islamic extremists they're cheering on -- have a lot in common. Both believe they're fighting the good fight when they're actually the very issue they complain about. Both demand an adherence to their ideology and refusals are met with intimidation and violence, ranging from assaults to deaths. Both are trying to collapse free nations in order to institute dictatorial forms of government.
Both demand compliance, but it's here we see the difference between the two.
The left demands compliance with an authority to an ideological system it will create, and Islam proclaims it's the authority already.
The left believes that this new authority will be a system that dedicates itself to the elevation of non-white people and systems that serve non-white interests. It bends the knee to any non-white presence proclaiming societal authority.
Islam just so happens to be one of the most pervasive and powerful non-white authorities in the world.
The radical left doesn't stand a chance. It has pre-programmed itself to defer to Islam. It's done this to the point where, despite it being very clear that Islam despises many of the protected groups and values of the left (LGBT groups and feminism, chiefly), the left will still pretend that the religious extremists of Islam are the good guys.
Like an NPC in a video game, they cannot break free of their programming to believe or act any differently. You can see this bleed through every now and again, such as the recent video of Muslim women causing a member of Antifa, the footsoldiers of the Western radical left, to back down from a man holding a sign denouncing transgenderism.

This member of Antifa was powerless against his own programming. He had no recourse. He could only leave as he was jeered at by the authority he committed himself to submit to. It's unclear if these Muslim women supported Islamic extremism, but it didn't matter. He was powerless, regardless.
When you commit yourself to submission to an authority then eventually an authority will come along and make you submit. Right now, the left thinks it's aligned with radical Islam. It's not. It's simply being used by it.
Eventually, there will come a moment when the left will be forced to abandon its principles and embrace the authorities it kneels to.
