I've thought about that recently. The right type of skepticism came out of the election. I'm grouping all sides/factions together and, I may be wrong, but I don't see it as an increase in critical thinking. I just see it as an outright dismissal of the credibility of any information coming from the nebulous establishment or mainstream, accompanied by an acceptance of any conspiracy theory that paints the mainstream in a negative light. It's skepticism that discriminates based upon the messenger, not critical analysis of the content of the message. I joke, but I also weep knowing that if there were an article that claimed that either candidate supported relaxing or increasing regulations on the chemical dihydrogen monoxide, a significant number of people would think it was a serious issue without actually researching it. Just my 2c regarding PewDiePie: He may be a youtube star, but he not a comedian and not humorous IMO. Don't make jokes about touchy subjects if you aren't exceptionally funny or have a very thorough and intimate understanding of the subject. There's a reason Louis C.K. can do skits on controversial subjects without being pilloried, he's not a crass amateur. If no one laughs, at best it comes off as insensitive. Also, his fan base is primarily 12-15 yr olds, not exactly old enough to understand the subtleties of satire. Kramer's racist rant post-Seinfeld at least was aimed at adults.
