For me they absolutely have. I've grown more authoritarian, because the general population can't even be trusted to inform themselves before making a decision or creating their own opinion, even though they have a device that access over 90% of human knowledge at their hands. I've also become more pro-religion (not j00, of course, fuck them). Religions are generally based and are a gathering of the wisdom of humanity. We have all seen what happens to a society when traditions are not only forgotten but also fought.
