It's honestly a mix. I can't talk to people about politics without being accused of racism, buying into fake news, or being generally dumb: I can't talk to people about burgeoning experimental psychotropic treatments because they call me a druggie, I can't talk economics without being called a heartless capitalist, and I can't talk about Islam without being called a bigot.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKKK

Honestly, I can't talk about anything to anyone really.

The thing that worries me the most is that having a high percentage of stupid people in a country is kryptonite to Democracy and Democratic Republics. Every single time they deny reality they're shaping the landscape of the country, both in policy and in social climate. They hold back individual freedoms, medical research, constructive governmental policies, the works. The worst part is that 90 percent of them will..not..ever..critically..examine..their..views.

I know it's a horrible thing to say, but it's almost like they're not even conscious. They think and behave in a way that I don't even understand because it seems totally independent from the reality they reside in.
