"I'm wrong, therefore I must be right in a different, impossible to disprove way" is the thinking behind essentially everything wrong with current year politics.
Hypothesis: Whitey bad
Test: Whitey kills or harms non-whitey disproportionately?
Result: No
Conclusion: Whitey harms non-whitey in invisible way that cannot be measured, thus whitey bad
Hypothesis: Capitalism bad
Test: Non-capitalist societies more successful?
Result: No
Conclusion: Capitalism made all non-capitalist societies fail, somehow, thus capitalism bad
Hypothesis: Covid kills healthy people
Test: Covid kills healthy people?
Result: No
Conclusion: "Long covid" causes every symptom imaginable and cannot be tested for, thus covid kills healthy people
Hypothesis: LGBTQRSTUVWXYZ folx are in danger!
Test: Folx more likely to be victim of violent crime?
Result: No, especially after controlling for behavior
Conclusion: Everything bad that happens to a non-straight person is a result of bullying, thus folx are in danger
Find me a single leftist viewpoint that doesn't follow this exact pattern. I'd be very impressed if you could find one.

I got another one for your list from my Grad School days - using a buzz word you probably don't hear that often anymore:
Hypothesis: Poor black people live in food deserts and are unhealthy because of institutionalized racism
Test: Poor blacks unable to access fresh vegetables/food in a cost-effective way?
Result: No, it turns out even in rural Southern Georgia, everyone has reasonable access to fresh food.
Conclusion: Black people make bad choices because of whitey.
