When I was younger and had a different career I used to come across people like this quite often in lower and middle management. They have the "How can you have your pudding if you don't eat your cake" mentality. They operate only on whatever indoctrination they have been ingesting from schools and corporate nonsense. The ability to reason and critically think is a completely foreign concept.
It's a waste of time to engage them but they often thrive in authoritarian roles where questioning is not part of the process.
That's how Communism works--by attracting amoral, mediocre-to-incompetent people whose prime motives are greed and lust for power. Authoritarian intimidation provides perfect cover for incompetence, it's an old trick malignant narcissists use. "It's true because I said it is. How dare you challenge me! Off to the Gulags with you!"
"Power corrupts" doesn't quite capture it. It's more like "(Corrupt) power attracts the corrupt." To paraphrase Hayek, What decent person would want to be a slave-driver?
How does a serious person respond to such blatant retardation. I feel like I need to go to a sane asylum because the world is now insane.

you can't. These people are demoralized. Their minds won't change, even when shown the truth.
