Chickens for KFC
The take
Western progressives marching in support of fundamentalist regimes that criminalize their existence are running the ultimate civilizational luxury belief, a suicidal hostage syndrome where the cost is funding your own executioner to prove you are not prejudiced.
The Tell
Chickens for KFC: marching for the regime that would throw you off a roof just to prove you are not prejudiced.
Stakes
This is the terminal stage of intersectional solidarity, where moral posturing is valued over basic self-preservation. When academic elites and activist groups advocate for fundamentalist movements that would gladly throw them off a roof, they are not practicing tolerance; they are treating a violent, illiberal ideology like a corporate HR issue that can be solved with scheduled counseling and therapeutic bureaucracy.

The read
The mainstream narrative frames progressive advocacy for radical Islamist movements as a noble display of anti-colonial empathy. In this view, defending the oppressed requires overlooking their deeply held, illiberal beliefs about human rights, women, and sexual minorities.
It is a high-minded coalition of the marginalized, united against Western hegemony. But this alliance is a farce that only survives in the safety of a Western university campus.
In the real world, the fundamentalist ideology these activists champion has no interest in intersectional theory or gender pronouns. It is a system of absolute religious law that views Western progressives not as allies, but as degenerates to be eliminated the moment the common enemy is defeated.
To maintain this delusion, Western elites have replaced physical deterrence with therapeutic bureaucracy. They import known extremists and offer them HR-style counseling, treating violent jihadist ideology as a minor behavioral issue.
The result is a civilizational pathology where progressive societies would rather face physical destruction than admit their open-borders dogmas have failed.
In the wild
- Queers for Palestine marching in major Western cities alongside fundamentalist groups that criminalize homosexuality.
- European state de-radicalization programs scheduling counseling sessions for watchlisted extremists who carry out violent attacks on the day of their appointments.
- Western progressive activists framing fundamentalist religious regimes as partners in anti-colonial liberation.
