endlessly entertaining when a group of people who assume themselves to be the Bestest Most Intelligent Politics And Geopolitics Understanders And The Adults In The Room run headfirst into a brick wall (literally reading a single page of a book ever in their entire lives, including the books of the people who they claim to be their patron saints, like Adam Smith)
I cannot stress enough that the average redditor has literally no idea what they are talking about. Drill them about literally ANYTHING and within 30 seconds, they find themselves unable to describe or explain anything, because they don't know anything beyond the facts and ideas that they've been given by other commenters who are just as moronic. 100% vibes-based.

Their desire to learn and retain new information about the world at large was extinguished halfway through middle school when they saw their first "but what if the curtains are just blue??!?" meme.
