Marxism is the opium of the intellectuals.
Sooo much more than religion being the opium of the masses.
The genocides of the 20th century - the worst in recorded history - all committed by people who said "oh look, no religion hence we're all so much more rational now!".
The fact that everywhere they rejected God at a country level they've ended up propping a fallible human it its place.
The fact that religious people have figured out the problems with big government, forced welfare, censorship etc etc so much earlier than these intellectuals did.
It's a paradox, like chasing the butterfly. The difference between wisdom and intelligence - and how wisdom evades those who pursue it.
The faithful can achieve independence because they've met their dependence quota virtually. The "rational" end up being slaves because they didn't count on having that quota at all and it snuck up on them from behind.
They were projecting their own shit onto others this entire time. Damn.
