Apropos of nothing — *cough* — you are not actually socially or morally obligated to have an opinion on complex geopolitical events that you do not understand

I’m leaning towards no because time for learning and thought are limited in a world of seemingly unlimited complex issues that one could theoretically devote time & mental capacity to (any one of which may have more impact once mastered and acted upon)?
The world would be a better place if people just dedicated themselves to gaining a deep understanding of those things that genuinely interest & concern them. A public w a broad-but-superficial set of cached ideas is much less able to evaluate *anything* & more easily manipulated.
