Because they don't realize just how cynical the woke are. For them it's not about vulnerable minorities, it's about using vulnerable minorities as a tool and shield for whatever they want.
Of course that's not a conscious Macchiavellian process. They make themselves genuinely believe that whatever their very online ingroup believes that day is indistinguishable from the interest of vulnerable minorities.
Again, equating your politics with identity group Y to silence criticism is an incredibly common political strategy all around the world. You just have to make the mental jump of not seeing the West as fundamentally different from dysfunctional developing countries.
Behind the smokescreen of postmodern ideology, there is just a failing elite doing what failing elites have been doing everywhere for centuries.

Thread about the riddle that is Abu Zabal Factory 91: Egypt's solid propellant missile factory.
If you are interested in missile proliferation, there is a good chance you have heard about the 1980s Condor 2 project. In a nutshell, it was a joint program by Argentina, Iraq and Egypt to build a highly sophisticated solid-propellant ballistic missile.
The program began in Argentina and similarly to other arms program of the country (IA-63, TAM), the system itself would be developed by Germans for local production inside Argentina. Also, Italy would have a role in the development of the propellant.

Folks, we👏have👏to👏talk👏about👏decolonizing👏nonproliferation👏 THREAD
Inspired by the trailblazing research of @TitaniaMcGrath, I hereby present my totally serious suggestions for making nonproliferation a diverse and safe space for everyone. Get into listening mode everyone! 💅
The term 'heavy isotopes' is a clear instance of fat-shaming which in itself is a vile expression of white msyoginistic patriarchy. We need to acknowledge the harm this language has caused and from now on use the body-positive term 'thicc isotopes' instead. 💃♀️🍟🍟🍟🍔🍔🍔

So what are the Egyptians working on? It's very difficult to know. One data point is a 2013 statement by retired military intelligence brigadier general Muhsin Saad Metwalli, who claimed Egypt produced a 3000km missile with Russian, Chinese and Korean assistance. However...
it is entirely unclear where he got his information from. It could be official information gained during his duty or just some military gossip.
The US is clearly not interested in showcasing the missile capabilities of its close ally either. Until 2009 the 'Ballistic and Cruise Missile Threat' reports still mentioned Egyptian Scuds. Newer reports do not mention Egypt at all.

Egypt refurbished its missile engine test stands in early 2020. Time for a quick thread on the Jabal Hamza test site, Egypt's liquid propellant missile program, and what (little) we know about its current status.
The Jabal Hamza test site goes back to the 1960s, when German engineers tried to develop an ambitious liquid-propellant missile arsenal for Nasser. The program eventually failed with the Germans and Egyptians unable to produce a working missile.
In the process however, they managed to establish a missile production and testing infrastructure in the country. This included a static test stand at Jabal Hamza (30.129° 30.605°). Two extremely rare photos from a German documentary show the test stand as it appeared in the 60s

The Houthis are going underground. In 2019, the movement seems to have reactivated a Saleh-era underground facility at Hafa military base in Sanaa, which had been destroyed by coalition airstrikes back in 2015. (15.325075° 44.239581°)
Piles of tailings showing up near the Southern entrance to the site also indicate tunelling work and a potential expansion of the old site.
What appears to be another reactivated tunnel entrance can be observed at Sanaa's Nahdayn military base. (15.303035° 44.217263°)
