2 Things
I've argued that when heading into discontinuities two things count:
A lot of connections and a collection of contingency memes. Fortune favors the potentially organized. Since the problems cannot be anticipated the game goes to the side with the smaller OODA loop and the richer lexicon of relevant memes. The real value of the Tea Parties isn't the Tea Parties themselves, it is in the process of getting lots of people to think this problem through and make connections among themselves. It will come in handy when we sail off the edge of the earth. May the day never come, but it's always handy to have a message in a bottle ready for the eventuality. -- Wretchard

Your Say
With the Insane Clown Posse misruling, I feel like I have to have my OODA loops for breakfast, lunch and dinner, just to know what the hell is going on.

Having no leadership as such, no center to attack, is also a bonus. When the Left brings out its standard accusations of bigotry they don't have a single face to associate the accusation with. They have tens of millions, and that is not good for the Left.
As they are learning over theis GZM, accusations of bigotry don't really work when you are accusing about 70% of the country of being bigots for merely disagreeing with you.
I predict this will not end well for the old bigot card.
