The beauty of statements such as "Many X's believe P" is that it can't possibly be false, so it can't be worth a damn as well.

Many leftists eat cornflakes.

Many leftists get up bleary-eyed.

Statements which began "Many Leftists" or "Many Marxists" or "Many Catholics" are obviously bull shit without reading the rest of the sentence.

Such statements are a form of unsuccessful intellectual masturbation.
