I had to ask other people a lot to explain many events. Because my sister was the actual one studied politics, and my dad listened to the news all day. And it would make doing research much easier if I didn't have to constantly look up which country belonged to which continent.
I was more invested in looking down on people with bad opinions. Remember when they thought encouraging people not to leave a dangerous situation and stay instead to protect their historical homeland made them extremely empathetic and not at all narcissistic for considering others as an extension of themselves and their ideology?
