It's basically undergound tubes filled with dinosaurs and peanut butter jelly.

Internet is an endless well of information.
Some people, however, are not able to deal with such huge amounts of often contradictory or false stuff.
Those, without a certain intellect and a skill to make a reasonable opinion (operative word: reasonable) get usually lost somewhere in this alternative world.
I've always said, that those who are uninformed shouldn't be allowed to affect things/change things.
Simply, because nothing good can come out of it. When I read discussion in comments of any political news, there's nothing but flame war. And now don't blame "smart" trolls, who are just making fun of everyone.
There's whole lotta xenophobic, rasistic and delusional opinions that are surely meant.

The democracy in it's finest - public referendums and such, can only work in countries where there's only a small low-class and in countries that are small. Such as Switzerland.
In CZ, there's almost non-existant middle class and there is a lot of hard workers against little number of executives.
That only fuels the xenophobia and the hate to everything unfairly superior to those dirty foot-soldiers.
And then there are gypsies. They get social benefits almost as high as regular workers' paycheck.
That also does no good; people blame gypsies for not working, but gypsies cannot work. Communists in the 1950's forbid their nomad lifestyle and forced them to settle down, found them a job.
Everything worked until communistic regime fell and government stopped the integrating program.
And this generation of gypsy kids just can't begin working in a minute. They never saw their parents go to work, so why should they?
Also, gypsy kids are usually sent to special schools, even though their mental health and capacity is equal to others'. Gypsies steal for living, create societies ruled by mafia and often move only to escape their gypsy authorities.

Now gypsy is equivalent to a thief in Czech.
Simply, because people don't care about how it really is.
They have to blame someone, at least to retract the guilt from themselves.
