It's worth revisiting Stephen R.C. Hicks' "Explaining Postmodernism". The left has intentionally abandoned reason. It's phenomenology (navigating pseudo-reality via feeling contra reason) all the way, rather than empiricism and rationalism. Even the old Marxists feigned to be scientific materialists, which relies upon a form of rationalism. Not the new left.
They can hold that all religions are evil, but that Islam is a religion of peace; that there is a gender wage gap, but there is no such thing as biologically-linked gender; that there is no truth, but that leftist claims are true; etc. There is no good will in their political debating anymore. They will say and do anything to seize more control over life and death, more power.
The only thing the left is consistent about is its inconsistency.

Excellent explanation.
