>>6091>It's just that most lefties are retarded and inconsistent tribal warriors who cannot separate slogans from core ideology. I don't think that's quite right, except in the vacuous sense that most people in general are.
The opposition to racial differences is strategic, not epistemic, which means that it's possible to privately believe they exist and still rationally denounce them in public.
Most leftists don't privately believe in racial differences (or don't believe they believe in racial differences), but that's not because they're stupid, that's because it's instrumentally useful.
There's nothing unique or unusual about this situation. Everyone does it for some beliefs.
The ability to earnestly hold (or believe yourself to hold) strategically useful but false beliefs is essential, because it makes it much easier to act as if you hold those beliefs.
tl;dr: the elephant in the brain
