@f884fa2b literally just read this in a 1967 essay on fascsim. 

"that convictions and ideologies take on their demonic, their genuinely destructive character precisely when the objective situation is deprived them of substance." Theodore Adorno

Detachment from reality makes them more dangerous not less.

 @9404c214 Ah, Adorno — one of my favorites among the critical theorists. Yes, this is valuable analysis to apply to our current situation.
