You'll probably become a much calmer and happier person TBH
Pick one
perhaps, but you also lose your human soul.

Maybe before, but nowadays they seem as miserable as the rest of us
they are and it's worse because their internal contradictions / lack of true explanations make it intolerable for them without understanding why. i get how being a marxist can feel like a curse sometimes but i would never choose the alternative.
Like housepets on the fourth of July, I think someone here said once
True, the fear and paranoia being spread by the media and corporations is getting to them
Liberals genuinely have lost the ability to distinguish reality from fiction, and you can see a microcosm of it in the fascist Lemmy instances.
Conservatives tell them one thing, they can easily discard it in favor of facts and logic. So they abandon the working class.
The Party tells them one thing, leftists prove them wrong with the logic and facts they used to value so highly. So they abandon facts and logic.
The US State Dept tells them one thing, yet reality itself disproves it. So they abandon reality.
They clutch their ballots and throw their tantrums and hysterics about voting because that’s the one thing they have left that is real. They can fill in a little bubble and know they did the Good Thing and are on the Good Side and everyone else telling them mean things are the Bad Side.
Calmer maybe, but happier? I have my doubts. Once you know, can you ever really forget?
