You're getting farther and farther away from your original point.

I'm well aware of the answers to these questions, I want to know your perspective because I want to identify where your view is getting mixed up, specifically.

Every time it’s gotten to this point in the past, I’ve regretted having the convo and felt dumber for getting bogged down in it.

I could use a refresh as while I went to college for politics, I started smoking weed because of how viciously Bernie was shit on and how that directly led to a Trump win. Everything political since then has been a brown haze of shit.

If you want a recommendation, Nia Frome's An Extremely Condensed Summary of Capital can put you on the right path in about 20 minutes.
