I work in psychological research and just to say this isn't a particularly reputable journal, it's got an impact factor of 1.9 and is ranked 28th out of all journals in the area of social psychology. Personally I think questioning the narrative we're spoonfed by the media (now proven biased beyond doubt thanks to Wikileaks) is a sign of superior intellect 🙂

For those who do not know, kakistocracy is defined as "a system of government which is run by the worst, least qualified, or most unscrupulous citizens." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kakistocracy
