but every Armenian friend I had growing up was a frothing anti-west, anti establishment nutjob SJW before it even became a trope. Think System of a Down if you want a mascot for that lot.

That might be specific to the West coast of the states, it isn't endemic to Armenians on the East coast, Midwest, France, or Australia (all of what you mentioned stems from California and you didn't even mention the Kardashians which are a part of that). Armenians are a lot like the Greeks in both culture and politics since they are compassionate and open but harbor some seriously antiquated traditions and culture that many would actually consider "far-right" in the EU/USA. I'm not sure they compare well with Israelis/Jews because Greeks/Armenians are very warm towards outsiders where as Jews are hostile.
