Congratulations, You’re Thinking Exactly What They Wanted You To
Or are you one of the select few who deserve to be spoken to?
There’s maybe only one thing I hate more about politics than politics itself…
And that’s the grip it has over people’s reasoning.
See, politics today isn’t about serving the people, fixing problems, or building anything that lasts.
The job description quietly shifted from “run the city” to “sell yourself better than the other guy.”
Because votes mean power. And power tastes better than truth ever will.
Are You Left-Wing or Right-Wing?
Politics today is a toxic football match. You’ve got your team, your colors, your chants, and a crowd of rabid fans ready to throw punches for their side — even if they can’t explain what the game’s about.
One quick scroll through social media, or even a five-minute chat in real lifelife, you can feel it.
Everyone’s playing the same stupid game:
Trying to guess each other’s political tribe before they dare open their mouth.
It’s not a conversation anymore. It’s a loyalty test.
People don’t ask, “Is this true?”
They ask, “Is this left or right?”
They don’t wonder, “Does this make sense?”
They wonder, “Will they still like me if I say what I really think?”
You either swallow the whole damn package your “side” is selling, or you’re the enemy.
What a load of complete, steaming bullsh*t, don’t you think?
The Game Has Changed
Here’s what really scares me—most people can’t think for themselves anymore.
They outsource their opinions. Rent their beliefs. Borrow the thoughts of others, slap their own tone on it, and spit it back out when the moment calls for it.
It looks smart. It sounds deep. But it’s hollow as an empty beer can.
They think they’re having intellectual conversations, when all they’re really doing is recycling someone else’s script.
And the worst part? They start believing they’re above you for it—puffing their chest like they’re Socrates.
The Only Way Out
Listen closely, and you’ll hear it: the same recycled lines, the same predictable turns. You can see their thoughts marching down the same old road toward the same tired conclusion.
That’s when you stop wasting your breath.
Don’t argue. Don’t “debate.” Don’t try to awaken a brain that’s been outsourced to the loudest voice on TV.
They’re not thinking. They’re repeating.
“We need more taxes! People are starving in the streets!”
“We need fewer taxes! Small businesses are suffocating!”
If that kind of talk doesn’t naturally lead to deeper questions like why the economy works the way it does, or how geopolitical tension shapes the system, then congratulations, you’re not dealing with a thinker.
You’re dealing with a flag carrier.
They’ve picked their team, memorized their chants, and now they’re just waiting for the next chance to shout them at whoever walks by.
You can’t reason with that. You can’t fix that. So don’t waste your time trying.
Instead, hunt for the few who don’t grab prepackaged opinions off the mental supermarket shelf. People who can twist a subject, look at it from the other side, and still keep their cool.
And you know what?
You’ll notice something funny about them.
You can’t easily pin them down politically. They don’t fit cleanly into red or blue, left or right.
And that’s how you know—you’ve just found someone who actually thinks.
I hope this one got the gears in your head turning a bit, made you think twice about how modern “intellectual” talk really works.
Ah, and before you go.
Do you feel it too?
Do you see it? The way politics and phony intellectuals have hijacked most people’s minds?
Tell me what you think. I’m curious.
