Even they know that "one can ignore reality but cannot ignore the consequences of ignoring reality."
Even they no doubt see the folly of all this but persist because they love the feel of moral or intellectual superiority--or any kind of superiority. And therein lies the irony of their moral and intellectual inferiority.
It's like Mohammed Atta, willing to purchase a ticket to paradise with his attack on the World Trade Center.
Theirs is just yet another form or elitism and snobbery, clouded by intellectual and moral confusion.
Snobbery and elitism come in countless versions. Social snobbery is fairly easy to deal with compared to intellectual, moral, or spiritual snobbery. No. It's hard to say. They're all insufferable.
If "Liberals" (no relation to the word liberal as in freedom loving or free thinking) were content merely to keep their heads in the sand, their foolishness would be of little consequence. Unfortunately, however, they seem determined to drag us along with them down the well-paved road to hell.
"Liberalism" is the greatest threat to world peace.
