political opinions and world events
just because you're entitled to an opinion, doesn't mean you're required to get one. and just because you relinquish your right to an opinion, doesn't mean you're an idiot.
the brain cells required to keep up with that shit can be spent elsewhere, if you so wish
it's called the freedom of thought.
when i hang out with these europeans they're all so damn interested in talking about international events
i think they're hiding insecurities
by talking about events they divert the attention away from themselves
and they can sound "intelligent" without having any real thought
they can just repeat what they heard
it's intellectual laziness to be honest
they're just not willing to actually think about anything new
