    On the one hand they are immensely infuriating, being so smug about being so confidently wrong. But on the other hand, these people know nothing, they know no history, they know no theory and where would they even know it from having grown up in a culture that deliberately miseducated them. It is like listening to children talk about space lasers or robots. They are dangerous and they should be prevented from spreading their ignorance to others but is there any point in being mad at them?

      Im mad at people who are smug while being willingly ignorant. They know they have no clue what they’re talking about. It is like listening to children and that’s what’s irritating. They arent. They’re grown ups and should behave as such. If they dont know anything and dont want to learn they should shut the fuck up, don’t voice your opinion if it’s worse than useless

          In this the libs do bother me more, but mostly cause they claim to speak for me. And some conservatives know the game and are just straight up lying, and at least in the abstract I respect the approach more. They know what they want and they know how to get it but also they’re my enemy and acknowledge it. Enemies that keep insisting they’re my friends and arent committed enough to get as dirty as their supposed opponents disgust me in a different way. Cause they pretend to be my friend and often genuinely believe they represent me.
