“However, because an ideology is an abstraction of reality—a Readers’ Digest version of it—it is, at best, a distortion or caricature of the real world”
Plato’s cave. Good read. Thanks for the post.
That IS the money quote.
Have heard it for years coming from the mouths of liberals: a sterile and deranged, twisted version of the world, a caricature as he said.
A fixed dreamscape of static characters, victimizers and victims, defined by crude stereotypes.
They always position themselves as deep thinkers, but they are simply herd animals good at rote regurgitation of approved shibboleths.
