When people ask you about the "opioid of the masses" quote, do you handwave it away by saying that, oh, that's out of context, opium wasn't considered that bad back then, he's just calling it a painkiller, thereby ignoring the fact that he's still saying it's a drug that fools people into accepting their own suffering with lies and false promises?

Or do you pick and choose your Marxism and just take some of the things he said but ignore the bits you don't like, even when he's talking about how dumb you are?
