It seems the problem of no tea in the teacup remains a political not an epistemological problem for the Left. It is still a matter of perspective. It is always a matter of perspective, for them, not reality. There is no world exterior to the mind. There is no You and I, there is only an Us and a Them. There is nothing more nimble, in a way, than the mind of the true-believer.
