是。和文革中的那些共性全顯。好在有媒體，有結構性製約（rule of law），有“其他美國人”----

像 Elgan 女士這樣的普通美國人。一個領袖（太祖那樣，大祖還在努力爭取）能煽動多數並一人“裁定” 的基礎不在，最後成了鬧劇。看到下麵這段“Each day, something urgent was happening in the far corners of the internet — something big and dark and secret, and that knowledge fueled her days with both purpose and agency.”，想起古紙兄推薦的那個著名電影，“Dr. Stangelove”。載卡斯女士最後是不是也有了“Stop worrying and love the bomb”的情感，^_^?  如果學好一段曆史，那麽，其它的曆史.......。古紙兄周三開心。

對了，Drinking the Kool-Aid 原來隻知道是被用來比喻由“單一進貨”洗腦，才查了一下，基本源自那個 Jonestown 的典故。What a loser, had to drag all the people especially all the kids with him.  Could not face the music by himself, *_*.
