It's the position of the left in this country. They would rather stand by their ideologies...no matter how strange, rather than to stand for absolute truth.
The neoliberals are the strangest creatures on earth. It's like some mental disease. They have no core values so they are paralyzed to act on anything in anyway.
The word that describes them very accurately in Sanskrit is "godas" - (that's a singular word) - servant of the senses. Their sensual desires, and the mind which follows behind, are their master. The genitals (or whichever sense, but those are the strongest besides the tongue) says "I WANT IT ALL AND I WANT IT NOW!!!" and the enslaved hedonist says, "Yessir, yessir, three bags full! Right away, master, whatever you say, master."
They don't realize that the fantasy of happiness and satisfaction promised by the mind and the attendant sensual desires is a false promise, like an ugly disease ridden whore promising true faithful love.
" It's like some mental disease."
Well, that's what G.K. Chesterton said at the beginning of the 20th century.
