Skeptic Project

Okay, is it just me or is the general Internet population really that stupid. It seems on every news article, no matter what topic, be it the most mundane article, not even politics related, it seems on every comment page there is at least one conspiracy nutjob going on about how the gubmint is evil and al qaeda is really alCIAda, mass surveillance, we're all terrorists blabla. (As I mentioned in another topic, the surveillance part seems to be once again just German CTers trying to be butthurt too, since the US CTers are butthurt about the patriot act. Of course, surveillance isn't half as "bad" here.) And the saddest part is, they get all the "thumbs up". All of this in midst of all the other comments wich basically are all just "blabla teh gubmint sucks bla". I forgot the name of the guy, but some German social scientist called this phenomenon "Wutbürger" (=Anger-Citizen) and it fits too well. I find this phenomenon frightening, because it seems almost everyone has an utterly childish idea about how politics and world economy works.

For instance, my dad and I were driving the other day, and the radio signal was interrupted. I wondered why that seemed to always happen when driving through a certain area. His response was, that it most likely was the Stasi, "who knows what they burried under the ground". After a short laughter from my side, he went on how Merkel is really Stasi and even if not, all "those things" apparently burried there would be so useful to our government.
