There are no countries, there are no ideologies, we have emotional attachments to our family and tribe or clan but beyond that we're sociopaths, as herodotus or someone said "the strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must". That's just the way shit be.
You're just less conscious of political reality if you actually believe in any ideology. Now philosophy on the other hand, that's something, if you happen to have some genuine belief in ethics then ironically the best way to put these ethics into practice is to accept this cynical worldview that we are all machiavellian sociopaths, yourself and people who share your beliefs included, it's the only way you can be realistic and effective. Beyond this though there's nothing, just a cold soulless void that extinguishes dreams.
I'm just saying, that's all. Your most heartfelt tender beliefs are all bullshit, in the end it all boils down to a dick swinging contest.
