Support For Islam Goes Up After Terror Attacks (More Among Rep then Dems!?)

In this episode of Based Camp, Simone and Malcolm Collins dive into one of the strangest social phenomena of our time: why does public sympathy for aggressors often increase after horrific attacks? From 9/11 to Charlie Hebdo to October 7th, they examine the shocking data showing spikes in pro-Muslim and pro-Palestine sentiment right after major acts of violence.

Simone lays out her theory: the concept of "victim blaming" was originally created to address real systemic injustices but was hijacked and weaponized in the 2010s by feminist movements (SlutWalks, MeToo, "Believe All Women"). What began as a tool against unfair bias became a reflexive shield that makes it taboo to assign any responsibility to victims — even when they are the aggressors. They also discuss the rise of external locus of control, cultural shifts on the right, demographic realities, and how women helped turn "victim blaming" into a societal mind virus.

A provocative, data-driven conversation you won't hear anywhere else.

Watch until the end for some wild protest photos and unfiltered thoughts on modern feminism.
