The object is to silence opposition

There is a lull in the ideowars on the internet. The alternative sites are quiet or off-key. The tomb is intermittent and strangely disorientated, K-Punk almost extinct and the comrades over at WSWS terse and anachronistic. The alt world is subdued. It's all temporary of course. Extreme violence and its enforced ideological superiority in Gaza, the depression and the globalised political paralysis have shocked one and all.

Even phoney wars are still wars. First of all, resist the order to be silent.
