Interestingly, the cowboy town metaphor is both a compliment to online media, and a shot in PM’s foot. Compliment, because we are finally acknowledged to be no longer a wilderness of vagabond voices, half-crazed and leprous. We have formed actual townships – lawless in relation to the status quo of ideology, always shooting from the hip, fearless of the authorities, but hey, we have group identities now!
Shot in the foot, because with such clear congregations of online communities, the ruling party still finds it difficult to monitor and engage?
