So you are ignorant. Its ok we have all been there. To live is to learn. I would have an essay very similar to yours a couple years ago. Then I started doing some reading.

Essentially leftism v rightism boils down to either you think people all all equals and should be treated equally regardless or you believe some people are superior to others and should get to treat others as lesser. Its simple as that.

If you say something is simple, then you are actually ignorant, literally. Its like saying: "There are only white and black people, simple as that."

Politics is way more complex and diverse, if you are only able to think in one direction then just don reply to me wtf.

You also said "Its ok" and included that "all" have been there but its only you and the bubble community you live in like you are some superior peace of ****

I didn't say all of politics is simple. I said right vs Left is simple. Its an classification system made for the sole purpose of making a complex thing simple.

Its like you are getting hostile at me for saying "using google translate is simple" and saying "Translation is super hard. Learning a new language takes years and even then the subtleties of idioms and the nuance of culture play a significant role in how people speak. bridging the gap between two languages is super complex"

You also said "Its ok" and included that "all" have been there but its only you and the bubble community you live in like you are some superior peace of ****

I'm sorry if my tone came off as condescending but is Understanding not superior to ignorance? Ignorance is a natural state. We naturally transition from ignorance into understanding on many subjects through out our lives. There is no shame in that. clinging to ignorance however is shameful. Realizing you are ignorant is the first step to understanding. The next step is finding more information. I was just trying to encourage you. No need to be so defensive.

The part that you see me ignorant is the problem. Just because I don't believe in socialism or capitalism or left vs right doesn't mean I am ignorant. You somehow had an exam about leftism and rightism which did not include more standpoints because your exam topic was just left vs right. It feels like you are literally stuck in this one knowledge and can't accept other statements. Its also called Dunning Kruger effect.

Just because you don't believe in something doesn't mean it doesn't exist. You live in a world where the right left political spectrum exists and you exist on that spectrum whether you know it or not. If there was a classification system for how spicy people like their food and someone called you a "spice chungus" your ignorance to the term and rankling scale would not change the level of spice you like or the fact that that has the name "spice chungus."

You seem hung up on the word ignorant. I'm not trying to say you are stupid. I'm not saying you are ignorant in general. I'm just saying you seem to be ignorant of Politics. Ignorance is the state of not knowing. It does have a negative connotation but that is just because Knowing things is more is generally regarded as better than not knowing things.

Knowing that you don't know is a good place to start but only if you try to learn more. Again I am just trying to encourage you to learn more.
