The Venn diagram of "right-wing extremists" and "Islamic extremists" approaches a circle. This is especially true in an attack on the LGBT community.

- Swenrekcah 6y agoI'm fairly certain that Venn diagram would be almost disjoint if representing individual people. But both groups are definately conservative and hold some of the same ideas. They both want the world and power they or their grandfathers had 50-150 years ago.
- JshWright 6y agoYeah, I suppose what I mean by that is if you took the ideologies of both (and abstracted out the language for the specific "god"), you would have a hard time distinguishing between them.
- walrus01 6y agoThis is pretty much the point Atwood was trying to make in the original novel version of the Handmaid's tale, which depicts a Christian ultra fundamentalist version of the Taliban's brand of Sharia law. Even though it was written a while before 1994/1996. Of course fictionalized for dramatic effect.
