Interesting points. As with many/most liberals, they seem to have an unhealthy trust in FNM, for starters, their gullibility shaped by their willful ignorance (or vice versa). Many also have a high level of fear (so are easily manipulated by the constant fear porn fed to them) and an undying addiction to virtue-signaling. Bad combination all around.
I actually had a wife of a friend of mine, jewish couple, tell me that "those antifa kids are just great" because she'd read an article on them early on which lauded them for their "initiative" and willingness to "fight against wrongs" or some such insipid propaganda. They lap it up like a thirsty nomad in the desert laps up water. They literally believe everything their FNM masters tell them - including to refuse to even look at opposing viewpoints from "unapproved" sources.
What you say about them being proponents of society-destroying elements, but not wanting them in their neighborhoods is right on target. Virtue signalling is based on fantasy and they don't want to lose that by having to grow up and deal with reality.
MSM, MainStream Media, sounds far too decent for the despicable propaganda/psyop outlets they are. I like Trump's epithet, Fake News, for these jackals better. Actually, I like "Lying, Deceptive Beasts from Hell" even better, but then that's getting a little long... ;-)

"FNM?"
Spot on!
That has been my experience with these types.
Fake News Media.
Ah! Gotcha.
That should actually be in the logo of these companies.
