(Just look at the Middle East and old Eastern Europe.)<p>But THIS is over the limit for, well, strange... :-)<p>&#62;&#62;Try writing down anything that undermines your country leaders, or what they won't you to say: in fact we don't know what to say, because if we did we couldn't<p>So there are thought crimes/memes which we can't <i>think about</i> even in this age of the anonymous Internet? When people have been writing (and even implemented) revolutionary dogma for centuries?!<p>The main problems with conspiracies is that they have to be secret.
