For real. Some of them seem to be taught to be “in the now,” like some New Age-y belief about manifestation or whatever, and some of them I think understand that the whole point is destruction, so there is no purpose to think beyond that aim. The communist mentality is always about the “struggle,” never about the end goal, so they continual just stay with policies that will produce the struggle and that’s all they have to worry about.
Pretty f-ed up, because the rest of the adults in the room have to figure out the second-order consequences and how to fix the mess they place us in. 😑
Good insights. What comes to mind in this connection is the contemporary tendency among leftists to view themselves as morally superior and their adversaries as evil. By this I mean people attached to the Left, but not part of the inner circle of strategists. The strategists know better, and a good case can be made that their aims ARE evil.
I think they're taught to ignore them. I can't help but wonder how.
