I don't think the question is "Do they know?". I think the question is "Do they care?".
I'd say clearly NOT.
Much of the B.S. the leftist fanatics have embraced has been so obvious and disproven so thoroughly, it seems impossible they'd be unable to encounter the facts. The same applies to their RINO/NeoCon enablers.
I'm reminded of two quotes by Philip K. Dick-
'Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.'
'It is sometimes an appropriate response to reality to go insane.'
One of the responses to the piece is that rank-and-file leftists don’t seem to care about this issue. But we have to consider that collectivism promises free stuff for people and this proves it’s not going to happen. The other issue is that a lot of this is to ‘save the planet, etc.’ and ruling-class leftist hypocrisy shows they don’t really care about this.
The bottom line is that the rank and file aren’t going to get the goodies and their virtue signalling is for a false cause. So, their being on the wrong side of history is for nothing.
