I also took great interest in philosophy. You see, one of them, forgot his name, suggested that these problems occur because people don't have individuality, but instead rally in masses behind a single person to represent one cause, however, what people fail to see here is that he only represents a potion of their shared goal or they could be simply using the mob to gain the upper hand or power. In general, each individual has their own way of conducting certain procedures. This is where a portion of communism comes to mind, an individual person to be able to identify with the crowd, while still consisting of his own unique ideals. However, there is not a single nor ideal political system that can be applied to everyone. In truth, anything that came close to this is communism, however, while perfect on paper, it is nearly impossible to execute in real life, given that this excludes the man's greed for power, wealth and other riches, while it could be a good thing, it can also be the greatest undoing of ones own nation, it's like roulette, you've got 50/50 chances of getting it right, most of which turned out quite awfully as you already know.

Don't worry about the network, CNN does that practically with Russia as well, 24/7, what's worse is that the masses actually believe it without a single doubt in their mind. Here, everybody knows what's happening, everybody knows what everyone does and yet no one wants to stop them nor get involved for their own safety. I mean, everybody has known for who knows how long now, that our phones have been tapped and our conversations are listened in all the time, this is why we say to each other here, if you have something important to discuss, don't do it over a phone. And yet, when this news reached the west the majority was so shocked that their politicians have lied to them and DO listen in on their conversations. I think it's because we have been through a lot (from peoples perspective), that there's practically nothing that could surprise us anymore.

That was the exact same situation over here, as well. My great grandparents were both happier, had less problems, were healthier, etc. I wouldn't call them stupid, I mean, wouldn't that make us the spawn of idiots or something? By this, I mean to say is that you're right. People didn't stick noses into each others businesses, they had less secrets, less problems, didn't have to worry about this and that, they didn't care for governments ideals since there was only one government, free healthcare and scholarship. In short, they lived to be alive, they traveled more, had more celebrations and fun, people were more down to earth and everybody was on equal footing, no one stood out, everyone who didn't have something received from the government as a starter. I'm mostly talking this from a Yugoslav perspective, USSR had much more restrictions then my grandparents did. Though, that's only a part of it, later came a lot of problems and troubles. It's funny, the more I talk about this, the more I realize how pointless and unnecessary all these troubles are. You just can't make any sense of them, and yet they're still here to stay.

I don't think that they're better adapt for the news, I think we simply see it as utter nonsense and we do not wish to be a part of it. In truth, younger generations, well at least the majority of it, don't really give a damn about politics nor its past. When we were 13, my generation was shocked because back then I didn't knew some political figures, as if I couldn't tell blue from red. German kids are particularly the ones who give damn the least. Back where the Berlin wall stood, there's a sign that states to "never forget". The elderly are still shaking, whilst the younger generations don't care and they tend to constantly remind them of it (not all, of course).
