The ISOC Taliban Religious Zealots Define Reality
There are 52 members of the ISOC Taliban. They are religious zealots. They have spent years defining reality for netizens. People with more technical skills and in some cases more historical time on the net are able to see right thru their charades. The average netizen does not have the time or experience to see (understand) what has been going on. Many humans also do not care. They have better things to do. Their reality consists of meat-space challenges, like feeding their children.
One could go thru all 52 of the ISOC Taliban Religious Zealots and explain in great detail the last 30 years of their life on the net. There are common patterns that emerge. One of the most important common traits is their willingness to tell "The Big Lie" to defend their party line, no matter how far from the truth they have to stray. They do not view it as a lie, they view it as reality. They collectively define the reality and then all defend that reality no matter how untrue. Their collective actions DEFINE them as a group. They really believe their own lies. They also derive pleasure from seeing the masses attempt to challenge their aristocracy.
Since they are well-funded by the masses, they have an unlimited ability to travel to any venue to sit and pontificate "the Big Lie". There is an unlimited number of people willing to also travel to *watch* the deliberations. The funding and the spectators combine to convince the ISOC Taliban Religious Zealots that the reality they have defined is also accepted by the masses. They label that consensus. They label themselves to be "the community" and attempt to claim the masses are part of their closed little club.
People occasionaly note that one of the main features of America is a separation of Church and State. That is not possible with the ISOC Taliban Religious Zealots. They are cut from the same cloth that people see blanketing the Middle East. It is ironic that Americans spend time and resources making sure the Middle East does not move to their soil, yet, their Internet is ruled by the same style religious zealots. It is not ruled by truth and free market forces.
Until future generations become educated and enlightened with past historical examples of how the ISOC Taliban Religious Zealots operate, nothing will change. You are forced to live in the reality defined by 52 people who have no intention of changing that reality. It is not in their best interest to change that reality. If you change "The Big Lie" to the truth, they cease to exist. You can continue to be their prey or you can walk away. The choice is yours.
