No, I do think it is warranted actually, because it is half the reason why we're in such a total mess (USA, UK, and much of Europe). There is a sizeable portion of the population that is helping maintain this faulty psychological zeitgeist by denying reality and trying to enforce delusional takes; for example, that we can take an unlimited stream of immigrants both legal and illegal into our nations without consequence.
In fact I don't think people continuing to prop up this zeitgeist get enough criticism actually - helped by all the laws put in place to protect such idiotic ideas and people from being confronted by their idiocy.
You'll deny reality until it punches you on the nose. Which is fine, except you're going to get me punched on the nose as well, when the consequences of all this nonsense comes home to roost. It's already happened across Europe, and it is now happening inside the USA as well. Crime, in particularly sexual violence against women, all going skyward.
That's what I mean by lacking awareness, and why the ad-hod isn't really at all, it's a completely valid criticism.. you just can't see it (naturally a lack of awareness can't grant awareness of its lack).
