The propagandic point being pushed is that there is no reality.

They're telling us they're proudly ignorant, stupid, and can and will make up any reality they feel like, sort of a reverse shambala. The subtext is them saying 'Let's start the conversation about some unreality I proclaim. I control reality by controlling you into a discussion about my unreality-based beliefs.' Fuck them.

Bit of a stretch to accuse the other side of an equal and opposite unreality base extremism. On our side, it's just fervent hope, a will to power.
