Another good one by Daniel Pipes: The Paranoid Style in Mideast Politics

danielpipes.org

I read something earlier on the thread I wanted to comment on, that everyone south of the Rio Grande believes that they are poor because we are rich. This is consistent with something I'd posted about before, when I studied the history of Latin American revolutions, I was surprised by how paranoid most of the Latin American students were.

Now that I think about it, I am struck by how many posters on this thread have paranoid political ideas.

I wonder if paranoid politics is really widespread or if it just seems that way because the paranoids are so vocal.

Edit: now I remember where I saw Daniel Pipes before. He wrote a good book about the paranoid style in politics. He calls conspiracy theory an "ism," conspirism.
