    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.
