    wait, the leader of the russians is CONSPIRACY-MINDED?



    moreover, it fits his goals to get his people off the Internet, so even if he were not conspiracy-minded, it wouldn't be surprising for him to say that. China's been trying to develop a country-specific intranet for years, come to that.

    Putin is cunning, but that's not the same as wise or even smart. it's a tactical outlook, which means Russia grows in the short-term as a petro-state. which is a fine way to shackle your future prospects to one natural resource, and promote corruption...

    There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "My ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."- Isaac Asimov
