I wasn't referring to you in particular, I was referring to describing types of "liberals" in general. I am not implying that there is something inherently wrong with being uneducated. Everybody is uneducated in a variety of fields outside of their own expertise, such as nuclear physics, foraging, farming, etc. Similarly, most american progressives simply do not know what the terms "left" and "right" mean in a political context, therefore, they are uneducated. Rather, I was implying that these progressives are well meaning, good-hearted people who just need a bit more knowledge as to where they could direct their energy towards political change. I apologize if it came off as condescending, maybe I should have used the term "unactivated" or "new to politics".
Thats good, keep reading. If you are interested in politics then I would recommend reading the works of Micheal Parenti.
Yeah, mostly agree, people are kept from thinking and complaining too much by being overworked, stressed, distracted, manipulated, demotivated, denied access, captured by cults, etc :/ sooo ... fuck IP law and let's get pirating, books ain't gonna read themselves :D
