Liberals reject the idea that material reality matters. In their mind they just had to win the media narrative and real world have no choice but to adjust itself to the vision they created.
I was trying to sell the idea of Diamat to a liberal and told them about Materialism vs Idealism and they flat out said “Idealism is good” moments after I explained it. To get the ball moving again I used an example explaining why racism was bad using Diamat and their conclusion was “racism isn’t bad” at that point I just gave up before my already plummeting faith in that person hit rock bottom.
Followed up later to understand their reasoning and it turned out the only reason they gave a shit about racism was because “it’s impolite”

At this point I just see liberalism as a cult.
I know you are joking but you are right. A lot of people only believe in principals as opposed to outcomes.
