Greetings all! This entertaining thumbsucker of a rant recently came to my attention.
Web 2.0 Is Reminiscent Of Marx

Without an elite mainstream media, we will lose our memory for things learnt, read, experienced, or heard. The cultural consequences of this are dire, requiring the authoritative voice of at least an Allan Bloom, if not an Oswald Spengler. But here in Silicon Valley, on the brink of the Web 2.0 epoch, there no longer are any Blooms or Spenglers. All we have is the great seduction of citizen media, democratized content and authentic online communities. And weblogs, course. Millions and millions of blogs.
It seems that Hollyweird's V for Vendetta disingenuously rips off a popular title and ignores the story to narcacistically indulge itself in yet another anti-Anglo rant.
