      I think a strong understanding of Marxism helps seed the revolutionary optimism that makes watching the news more bearable than for liberals who see the world as a scary swirl of chaos and no way out. Lenin says it well:

      Despair is typical of those who do not understand the causes of evil, see no way out, and are incapable of struggle.

      This fits the liberal nihilism to a T.

    Ignoring the world definitely makes you good global citizens and not problems to work around. Good job. Way to go.

      That might be because you actively go around yelling at people for not supporting Israel
