This honest British liberal activist explains.
Mr. Nawaz finds himself stuck between the Left and the Right on this issue, and I can relate;
Great meme, I am stealing it.
I think that Mr Nawaz is right on the money, but there is a nuance remaining or two.
The 'liberals' who support Salafist Jihadism (i.e. Islamofascism) over 'neoconservatism' are making an ideological choice, true, but they are doing it because liberalism is only a posture for convenience to them. They are not betraying anything by going against liberal principles in supporting Islamofascism (that would behead them), because they are actually Marxists and expect to execute the Islamofascists first whenever they get the chance, and the Islamofascists know this too.
So the two 'allies' have their shivs at the ready to kill the other at the first sound of gun fire. This is why the Islamofascists prioritize targeting the left instead of the rightwing. They actually sympathize with the rightwing, but they despise the left even as they make alliances of convenience with them and will betray them ASAP.
Look at France; Bastille Day is mostly a leftist celebration, with idiot populists building on it for economic reasons, but who other than an idiot or a leftist would celebrate the overthrow of a benign monarch that was replaced by a murderous 'democracy' that then fumbled everything so badly that they started slaughtering people almost indiscriminately, even their own members and allies, and finally handed power over to a true tyrant, Napoleon Bonaparte, one of the most evil sonsabitches to ever rule in Europe? The truck driver knew that most of the people celebrating that catastrophic event were lefties and morons, and so he had his target well selected (in his view). The Orlando murderer targeted a *** night club, and others have targeted the Boston Marathon and New York city repeatedly, both major hubs of leftwing political machines.
So the leftist acts like he finds value in Islamofascism even while these Islamofascists attack everything the left stands for, but the left has to pretend to respect that and still politically support them.
It is comical and doomed as it exposes the lefts hypocrisy so plainly even the sub-90-IQ segment that drives the Democrat vote is seeing it for what it is; idiocy and national self-destruction.
