Why Liberals Don’t Care About Consequences

Spengler » Why Liberals Don’t Care About Consequences:
No amount of evidence will convince liberals that they were wrong. 
Evidence abounds, to be sure: 
Appeasement invites aggression. 
Handouts increase dependency. 
Coddling terror-states like Iran elicits megalomania. 
Big government stifles the economy. 
They don’t care. 
Really.

.....Why don’t liberals seem to notice the catastrophic consequences of their policies, and why to they imagine imminent horrors where none exist? 

If you corner a liberal and point to a disaster that followed upon his policy, at very most he will say–with a tear in the eye and a quivering upper lip–”We did the right thing.”

It’s all about having done the right thing according to the dogma of the ersatz liberal religion. Liberalism has nothing whatsoever to do with policy and its real-world consequences. 

Instead of finding one’s salvation on the path of traditional religions, liberals look for salvation in a set of right opinions–on race, the environment, income distribution, gender, or whatever.
