    1. The slow but sure change wrought by the internet: history is no longer being written by the victors, but by the people most able to organize

    This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it means that we have to be even more careful than before about what the truth is.

      Also, if there was any doubt, in retrospect it means that 'community organizer' is really the most qualifying position for President.

        I think we may be nearing a point where command over communities is nearly as effective a tool for writing history as command of arms.

          In the future, we may see this period not as liberalism vs conservatism, but force of communal thought vs force of arms as a decision maker.

            This is why Freedom of Speech, Freedom to Bear Arms and militarized government vs communities, have become our prime topics.

              People fear community rule over the potential force of the individual. And they fear how communities that rise to rule discourse are defined

                In a very real way, we're fighting a war over the comment section because we think that whoever wins writes the past and the future.

                  And that has little to do with political allegiance, which is why stuff can get real mixed up when we talk about how bad communities 'align'

                    "Who gets to rule our discourse?" is a defining question more effective than what party you subscribe to. "Why?" is the one we need to ask.

                      The reason?: For the first time in history, the answer to 'who rules our discourse' could be anyone. Doesn't make it democratic, just is.
