The one big exception to the left's campaign against hate and prejudice

[BlueCheeseAgain]

Over the last many years, I've learned a lot about discrimination, prejudice, and inequity, based on the ideas and principles that come from the academic left.

I've learned that prejudice isn't limited to outright segregation and bigotry.
I've learned about privilege and how my life is easier than others because of race and sex.
I've learned about gender identity and pronouns.
I've learned about microaggressions.
I've learned about the difference between equity and equality.
I've learned about cultural appropriation.
I've learned about intersectionality.
I've learned about how seemingly fair practices can actually be unfair.
I've learned how our institutions have built-in biases.
I've learned that majority groups should not dismiss how minority groups see certain phrases, symbols, or practices.

In general, I've learned about how a diverse society should behave, in a way that's far more nuanced and sophisticated than what I realized before.

It all makes sense to me. I roll my eyes when Republicans talk about "woke" culture and how schools are indoctrinating kids with critical race theory. All it really means is being more aware, more informed, and more understanding of how life really is.

Except...

When over a thousand innocent civilians were brutally slaughtered and a couple hundred more were kidnapped, many of the same people who built this edifice of understanding and fairness couldn't even bring themselves to even condemn the act. Many of them outright celebrated it.

Professors who study race, gender, and discrimination for a living, who've written books about downtrodden communities. Students at some of the best universities in the country. Activists for justice in other areas, such as for civil rights or LGBT rights. Not everyone, of course. But enough to make one wonder.

On the one hand, they decry "all lives matter". On the other, they justify "from the river to the sea".
On the one hand, they talk about women's rights and LGBT rights. On the other, they look away from a group that subjugates women and murders gay people.
On the one hand, they talk about microaggressions. On the other, well, ...

This doesn't make sense to me. A movement and school of thought that tries to make a fairer, more just, more informed society among diverse groups, turns a blind eye towards the mass murder of babies, the elderly, and everyone in between simply because of who they are.

Why?
