Enlightened leftists believe that their perceptions usurp all other aspects of reality.
It started off as an ordinary day, working from home with my television playing in the background while typing at a computer. A talking-head appeared on the TV and uttered that famous phrase “We know it's not right, but perception is reality, so...” That's all it took for me close my laptop and unplug from the insanity of life for the remainder of the day.
Perception is reality. I was familiar with this phrase during my formative years, when educators made philosophical arguments about trees falling in forests that nobody heard, or about tigers lurking behind picket fences. I agree that what we perceive is subjective, with five witnesses to an event describing five different outcomes. Dali made a living painting optical illusions to trick our minds. I think we've all squinted at the animation of the spinning ballerina and asked ourselves – is she rotating clockwise or counterclockwise? There is no disagreement that the limits of perception influences how we interpret our world.
Perception, however, is just what we thought we saw, not what actually happened. It does not negate the effect of gravity. It cannot change the boiling point of water. It cannot make the sun rise in the West, nor can it make a boy into a girl or turn a power-point slide into limitless green energy.
In the past, choosing to believe in things that contradict reality was considered a sign of delusion. Nowadays it's called diversity of thought, while fact-based logical arguments are derided as being racist, narrow-minded or out-of-touch with the current, amorphous state, of modern thinking.

Leftism seems very similar to many mental disorders.
Everything the body perceives is interpreted by the mind, but they are missing the third key piece: the soul.
The problem with the end of this article is that they’re implying a global acceptance of “trying socialism” once again. Those of us standing in the way, those of us who understand history and the costs of this consistently failed experiment in government, are being harangued as conspiracy theorists, nutcases, and domestic terrorists.
I think I now understand what life must’ve been like in Weimar Germany or at any point where society was on the cusp of madness: those who wish to be left alone recoil further from society while society marches on madly into the abyss.
At some point we’re all going to be pulled into the gyre. You make your decision when, but the sooner we start fighting back against this tyrannical minority, the sooner we get back to life.
Methinks that the LEFT’s real anthem is “Feelings” as rendered by Babs.
A real-life demonstration of socialism failing in a democracy is India! From 1947 on, it was a relentless nationalization of industry with miserable results. Current news is that the Modi Government is discussing selling the national airline, Air India, to the Tata conglomerate. Air India has the international reputation of last choice in all areas.
Yet, when asked, our young mush-headed newbies, taught by the LEFT, are eager to repeat disaster!
99 percent of all considered reality is perception
Often similar to sociopathic thinking (and actions) too..
