We all know the narrative. The "left" is soft on Islamic extremists and Islamic terrorism, and this is because they are too afraid of being called "racist". While they is likely some truth to it, it another thought occurred to me - could this be, at least in part, due to the fact that those tactics by the extremists actually worked? Could it be because these people are actually afraid of those extremists and it's their way of appeasing them, in the hope that they'll be spared? If the last two years have thought us anything, it's that complying with tyranny is all the rage among these people.

Of course terrorism works. Why do you think we have Rittenhouse being tried rather than being lauded as a hero for protecting his community? Mob Justice, in whatever form it takes, rules. Mob Justice is just another form of terrorism, by threatening harm unless you do as they demand.
But the real issue is that The Left capitulates because they falsely believe Islam, BLM, LGBTQIA2QLMNOP+ have legitimate grievances against society at large. As the Mommy, it's their duty to make things fair again. What we're seeing is the result of feminine conflict avoidance and nurturing behavior baked into society through all of the equality measures over the past several decades. They've completely lost the balance and now must right every wrong, real or perceived.
That's why CRT is a thing. It's why equity is now a thing rather than equality. Nurturing has its place, but once you're an adult, you must be independent to be free. This is diametrically opposed to the Nanny State, because there can't be any "fairness" with independent actors and emergent results. We're basically Mommying ourselves to death.
Now compare that to what China is doing right now.
