и этот общий знаменатель - "почитайте шапиро"? вы это серьезно? с одной стороны chomsky и lessing, а с другой - шапиро?
there is no fucking way for ordinary people to find out "truth". first, you choose your faith (or are just brainwashed into one, doesn't matter) and then your brain will find a way how to interpret any fact so that they would not conflict with your beliefs..
this is equally true for dictatorship and democratic countries. or wannabe-democratic and pseudo-dictatorships. by the end of the day, all your hate and negative emotions are routed to "them". you truly believe that "they" are worse than you. this faith gives you power to live and closes your eyes toward your own problems. it makes life so much easier to live - that's why you need faith (or religion) in first place.

вы - олицетворение. вы нашли свою истину, уверовали в нее и любые факты трактуются вами исходя из этой веры. вы - копия юрия алхазова, только вектор другой. а все остальное - один в один :)
