Welcome to the peoplenet, where truth doesn't matter as much as the conversations/gossip we have about an issue or symbolisms we fight for.

On the peoplenet, we rally around virtual flags and leverage symbolic issues as a way to fight moralistic cultural battles with each other.

Sometimes these flags are worth fighting for. Sometimes they are just flags we pledge allegiance to through indoctrination or peer-pressure.

On the peoplenet, those who try to stay bipartisan on an issue are hated most of all. Independent voices are squashed by all sides.

On the peoplenet, we are connected by culture. Shame acts as the BOFH who secures our memes and group identities by causing suffering.

On the peoplenet, we experience flame / religioius wars between people running different operating systems. It's what people do.
