@resist прави ми впечатление, че тези 5 колони много добре отразяват какво са поразили комунистите в България през 1945 и какво в момента Рапона и Шиши стискат здраво.
Бих добавил само спортните клубове, но те сигурно влизат в professional association.

Curiosity can lead to either support of science or conspiracies. A recent study found that what matters is how people are curious. Those who dislike uncertainty and want quick answers tend toward conspiracy theories. Those who enjoy exploration and open-ended thinking tend to trust science.
