How can one talk to the left when they deny reality?

During the Iran-Iraq War, most people wanted both sides to lose. Israel, like the US and others, monitored the state of the war and, where needed, did its part to keep it going. At one point, the Israelis concluded that Iraq was getting the upper hand and needed to be checked. Through a kosher job placement company they ran in Paris, the Mossad was able to send two of its agents into Iraq to work with the Iraqi army motor pool. One fellow worked on trucks, causing the trailer to separate from the cab over a certain speed. The second guy, who actually wrote the book about his life in the organization, taught driving to Iraqi truck drivers. He taught them that brakes were for women and cowards. Real men don’t use brakes. The number of truck accidents began to skyrocket, and when the duo felt that they were at risk of exposure, they stole their boss’s Range Rover and fled via Turkey.

Much of our life depends on what we perceive as reality. If a person is absolutely convinced that a local bridge is on the brink of collapsing into the ocean, he might add 20 minutes to his daily commute to avoid the bridge. When he retires after 50 years of work, and the bridge is still standing, he could realize that he was wrong and that he has no way of bringing back the thousands of lost hours he unnecessarily added to his commute. Oftentimes, the more accurate our relationship to reality and our world, the more successful we are. Elon Musk is a brilliant fellow, and he understood the need for the products his companies make and sell. If he believed that there was no need for rockets that can land upright or that the world had no requirement for Starlink, he would be poorer, and the world would be less advanced.

One of the basic requirements for the modern left is to replace the reality of our world with some type of model they need to peddle........
