“It is one of the biggest exercises in false consciousness the world has seen”

“False consciousness” does not exist. Except insofar as it describes various mental states like delusion, denial, or simply being mistaken. But if that’s all it means, we never needed a new word for it. And insofar as it means more than that, it is a bogus academic buzzterm.

"False consciousness" is a Marxist term invented to explain why the proletariat wasn't rising up against the eeevil bourgoisie and striking off their chains. It means the worker bees have bought into a worldview prescribed for them by their masters. And that's why they need a "vanguard" (read, Party bosses) to lead them and run their lives for them.

Obama was talking about "false consciousness" when he made his bigotted remarks about the bitter clingers of America. Biden was making the same assault on the People when he asserted that Obamacare was too complicated to explain to the ignorant masses and that's why they(we) object to it.

If you wonder why the Left is always so arrogant, this is the source of it all--they truly believe they are destined to rule over the rest of us.
