There are 2 types of people. Those who engage with politics and use it to bend the world to their will. And those who are ignorant of politics who get taken advantage of by those who are engaged.

Well no, there's clearly a third group who is compulsively obsessed with consuming and repeating political memes in a way that isn't actually giving them any power or agency.

We call that third group Lemmings.

Those who engage with politics and use it to bend the world to their will.

So... billionaires, and the rest of us?

Either make the waves, ride the waves, be part of the wave, or try to walk against the wave.

We all want to be the makers but the majority of us won't be. Try to ride the waves.

There are two types of people. Those who talk about politics. And those who don't want to talk to people who see everything in black and white.

There are two types of people. Those that can extrapolate from incomplete data

I love how you've set up a false dichotomy to complain about lack of nuance.

To say everything is in a grey area ignores the grey area of that statement itself where some things must be black and white.

Its like whats the exception to the rule that every rule has an exception.
