my unpopular opinion is that if you want to call yourself an adherent to a particular theory, you should actually engage with that theory & strive to understand it on a deeper level instead of just slapping the label on and that’s the end of it

like. i fw what i’ve Read concerning the goals or communism & socialism but i know virtually nothing about either. so it makes little sense for me to call myself a communist or a socialist. does that make sense?

i’ve had to learn to start saying “i don’t know enough about that topic to claim any stance on it” with a lot of things. like life has gotten so much easier since i stopped worrying about sounding dumb.

right!!! recognizing the limits of my knowledge & thus realizing i don’t need to form an opinion on everything right away, and that i can take my time to develop & synthesize & process information, has actually allowed me to better apply what i learn to More than just one topic (also sorry if this is word salad-y & makes no sense, i’m about to fall asleep LMFAO)
