I attribute this to my uncle, though it was years ago. I was butting heads about communism. I stopped for a moment to ask him what socialism is. I don't even think he said it's when the government does stuff; he just said it's when taxes are 70%. It gave me the clarity of mind to just give him the thumbs up and go do something else because he wasn't going to listen and he'd never agree with me because he was adamant and ignorant
