If leftists were ingenuous, you might expect them to have some soul-searching when they see Woke Milley, or when Nike or Coca Cola pushes their shit.
You might expect them to question their belief system when they see a huge moneyed establishment, or military system agreeing with it.
But you never see such ingenuosity. Because all leftists know that they are ultimately supporting the big moneyed system.
But this happens gradually. They don't know this as kids, when they are first tricked into the bullshit euphemisms of liberalism. So leftist kids might be a bit surprised. But as kids, it doesn't really matter, since the bullshit euphemisms and the social structure are what matters to kids.
Then, like a cult, the system becomes their whole world. You can't question it without losing your whole world. That's when the reality can gradually be released to the victims, because they are stuck in it.
The only lucky ones are those who can be saved are those with a small-to-nonexistent social structure buffeting them.
