What? It's possible to be a queer lefty in lebanon? But I thought every gay person got stoned to death or thrown off a building in every single Arab country! I thought that because I'm racist

Honestly it started with 9/11.

As a society the western world still suffers PTSD from that event. In the immediate aftermath of that event the best things about our society were dismantled and without them we lost our way. We've never found it again.
