False, I do not watch television and, therefore, I cannot watch the news. I also do not read the news. Maybe once in a while I might do a Google news search concerning religion.

So you are just naive of what happens in the world around you?

If you mean to ask am I above the petty worldly drama to which nimwits cater, then the answer would be yes.

If you don't turn on to politics, politics will turn on you.

You're kind of a nihilist or something?

Reverse Russell's Teapot. Useless drivel.

A nihilist wants to eliminate the system, I am a nihilist. Nihilists should not be naive, they should be constantly scheming.

Nope, political nihilism is about destroying authority. Dmitri Pisarev put it best; "Here is the ultimatum of our camp. What can be smashed must be smashed; whatever will stand the blow is sound, what flies into smithereens is rubbish; at any rate, hit out right and left, no harm will or can come of it."

Political nihilism seems to me like another form authority. They see in themselves the authority to destroy authority.

I don't watch the news, I don't follow politics, I don't vote. The only news I ever hear is the really big shit that shows up everywhere. Yes I know it's my civic duty, i yes I know people fight and die so I can vote, but I don't think they fought and died so I can vote between crooked assholes who care more about re-election than they do about actually fixing shit. Whether I'm educated or not, what's going to happen is going to happen. I just don't bother with politics.
