Them by Jon Ronson



Very interesting read. Jon sets himself the task of trying to understand the fundamentalist viewpoint by taking them seriously. He discovers a certainly logic behind various viewpoints, a modern world controlled by a clique of Jews and Jew-like people or capitalists. Not only does he believe them but he actually tries to follow their tips right into the heart of the secret Druist ritual in America. At various stages I even felt that the whole conspiracy theory was actually real. I see a lot of parallels between these conspiracy theories in West and Pakistan. Was Osama really killed or not? What difference does it make? For me that idiot was a waste of space. Blind trust will lead to these stories appearing real. How we can trust such fantastic assumptions when we cannot even trust our own eyes sometimes?
