Don't hold strong political opinions like some student (lol). Instead, have the courage and intellectual rigor to accept the status quo. When you internalize the idea that everything is already hopeless/ideal, all those Utopian moral obligations evaporate, and you can focus instead on what's really important: further enriching your betters.


No you see the ruling order is ideologically neutral. Regurgitating its values and histories and justifications is all responsible and pragmatic and grown-up and poo poo. It's only the deviations that are ideological in any way.

Liberalism: My anti-politics.

I think you're conflating "extreme" political opinions with "strong" ones. It's possible to have a "strong"/confident belief in liberalism/centrism or a "weak" belief in an "extreme" ideology.

Edit: Confession time: I don't actually have strong political opinions myself, but sometimes I post as though I do out of annoyance with other confident-sounding people.
