i dont hate the left, i am just baffled how quiet they are about this subject. if the left cares so much about humanity and stuff then why do they ignore the opression of non-white christians? the left stands up for everybody but not christians.
the left is people who consider themself socialists, feminists, communists, gay people etc. people who vote for hillary clinton, macon etc.
can you show me where the left stands up for opressed christians and where the left give critic to any other religion than christianity?
What you are engaging in is called Virtue Signalling: The public expression of an opinion on a given topic primarily for the purpose of displaying one’s alleged moral superiority over those the opinion is being expressed against.the left is people who consider themself socialists, feminists, communists, gay people etc. people who vote for hillary clinton, macon etc.

In essence, you seem to be signalling your "superior" virtue against the "Evil Left" by acting in the same way a Social Justice Warrior would against the "Evil Right".
So what do the lives of a couple-hundred innocent people mean when you can use their deaths to imply your own superiority over an entirely different group of people that you don't like (i.e., "... socialists, feminists, communists, gay people, etc. people who vote for hillary clinton, macon etc.")?
you are paranoid, i dont think this.
i do care about the christians? then why do i bring up christianityphobia...
if the left cares about opression, then why do the left ignore how hard christians have it in middle east, some parts of asia, africa etc?
its a fact that the left cares about jews, muslims etc, but not christians....you dont have any problem with that, you feel offended that i point this out...
In the west where most of these leftists you are talking about live christians are not being oppressed and things aren't bad for them. I mean if anything in the U.S some fundie christians are trying to promote religious legislation against things like abortion and birth control in some states. Muslims face more discrimination than christians in the U.S....
So perhaps not everyone on the left is familiar with how christians are faring everywhere in the world. I have heard of oppression and discrimination towards christians in some places and I do have a problem with it, but there is not much I can do to influence politics or solve conflicts in the middle east, asia or africa.
Still though does seem kind of like you care more about blanket generalizing all the liberals and people on the left as people who hate and want to oppress christians, than you care about the christian victims of the Sri Lanka attack. If a few a**holes on facebook cracked jokes and laughed about it that was sh*tty of them but kind of unfair to blame everyone who isn't a right winger. I mean should I accuse all right wingers of being nazis and nazi sympathizers, just because some of them are?
few a**holes? more like thousands of leftists, and on twitter too. its always like that. right wingers do the same but against muslims, its disgusting to see.
well the left do accuse all right wingers to be racist and nazists, how did you miss that? but its only white right wingers who are racist, the right wing politics are VERY different in others parts in the world compared how it is in the west.

and no where does feminists and leftists and liberals talk about this, as usual.
Good idea. Let's use the awful tragedy as an opportunity to shamelessly dig on feminists and liberals. /sarcasmand no where does feminists and leftists and liberals talk about this, as usual.

In that case you must have very different Facebook friends than I have.why is it okay to blame the right for islamophobia but not the left for anti-christian?

it's okay to blame anyone for anything, if they are truly guilty of doing that thing. It's when people start being categorised as 'the left' and 'the right' that the issue becomes unpalatable for some because it is intentionally pointing the finger of blame at people that have done no wrong but happen to share a similar view on a subject to the person who is guilty
