Next time you read about the U.S. census being used to target peoples houses for U.S. army artillery strikes, yeah, that was me…sorry.

Hah! Well done.

I know, I started a full fledged “internet rumor” once when I was trolling the “Rapture Ready” board. I honestly did not think that anyone would be dumb enough to take me seriously, huh.

Rapture ready? Didn’t think anyone would be dumb enough to take you seriously..? *pointed look*

As I said, I personally think that this a by-product of Internet revolution in communication. /…/
Then he meets on-line people who are thinking exactly like he. They share more videos, links, articles etc. some of them knows English and translates textes from abroad etc.

I was trying to be humorous with my earlier comment. Really, I think you’re on to something here. Especially about the self-confirming groupthink the internet provides. Almost any idea or kink has a fanclub online that can normalize what’s very odd indeed. If this is a positive (as in openly expressing oneself without censors), or a negative (as with the bacterial cultures of conspiracy we’re talking about here) on the whole, I wouldn’t hazard to guess.
I think it’s pretty obvious that certain indulgences are better left without the air of acceptance. Perhaps exemplified well with the recent posting about the Pentagon shooter. Or the cheering fanclub of Dr Tiller’s murderer.

The saddest thing about this, perhaps, is that the medium that allows such insulation is the same medium that allows unprecedented access to fact and source checking. A commentary about humanity, perhaps?
