I was watching a stream with Sargon of Akkad and he summed it up perfectly.
They start out in the theoretical and decide what they want from that position, and then they bring it to reality expecting reality to conform because "that's what's right".
Like someone starts off in the theoretical headspace of "I am a woman", and they end up cutting off their dick, taking hormones, and trying to redefine language in a vain attempt to make reality conform with that idea they decided was right in the purely theoretical sense.
Whereas sane people start out by considering reality and then formulate what they want to fit inside of that. Like "Life would be so much easier if I were a pretty woman... Too bad I'm an ugly man. Ohh well."
Because to sane people reality trumps the theoretical. But with leftists it's the other way around. Reality is evil and bigoted, and their theoretical ideas are all good and pure and moral.
That's why they say it's not real socialism when it fails. It only fails in reality, but in theory it's perfect. And theoretical purity is all they really care about.
That’s exactly how they have been making climate models for global warming. Some how all the models have been over predicting the amount of warming.... hmmm
Because rich people. Don’t you get it?? The rich bro, we take from them. They have a gazillion dollars, we just tax them and can have free housing, healthcare, education, and UBI.
Not really, they actually believe they should get everything they want without having to work and somehow socialism magically makes that happen.

Sargon is great are you watching his lotus eaters podcast on his new site ?
This. They think if they can get enough people to go along, others will actually start to believe it. (And sometimes do.). This is tptb in action.
Just tax the billionaries bro and we will have infinite money!
If you tax all the rich people, won't they just leave and take the jobs they provide with them. 🤔
No that would be racist. I think.
I dunno how the rules work, specifically, but I'm doubling down on the racist excuse anyways.
That's the appeal of the ideology
