There’s something bizarre—almost pathological—about the way the modern Left engages with ideological threats that explicitly seek its destruction. Time and again, we see a pattern: the Left imagines a utopia in which everyone shares their values of tolerance, inclusion, and global harmony. Then, rather than test that vision against the real-world ideologies they encounter, they project it onto those who hold diametrically opposed beliefs—including violent jihadists.

This is not a matter of ignorance. Jihadists have been painfully clear about their goals. They do not seek diversity. They do not care about inclusivity. They have no intention of coexisting with secular, progressive ideologies. They want submission or death—and they say so openly. Yet despite the mountain of evidence, the Left continues to behave as if these sworn enemies are simply misunderstood allies waiting to be embraced.

It’s as if Hannibal Lecter moved in next door—not the fictionalized genius monster, but the real thing, complete with a record of butchery and a hunger for flesh. Any rational person would bolt the doors, call for reinforcements, and stay alert. But the Left? They not only invite him over—they set the table for him. They light the candles, toss the salad, butter the rolls, pour him a drink, and offer themselves up for the main course. They don’t even make him work for it. They practically sharpen the knives for him.

This isn’t compassion. It’s delusion. It’s the suicidal embrace of an ideology that sees empathy as a weakness to exploit, not a bridge to peace. In their blind quest to prove their moral superiority, the modern Left sacrifices reason, self-preservation, and ultimately, their own safety.

The brutal irony? The very freedoms the Left claims to cherish—gender equality, LGBTQ rights, secular governance, freedom of expression—are the first to be annihilated under the rule of those they’ve invited to dinner.

It’s not just naïve. It’s self-destructive. And it’s time to stop feeding the monster.
