8. I think that DU has a broad effect.
Even if we all go off in the weeds some times (not me of course) and have been observed on scooters wearing tinfoil hats with propellers (once again except for me naturally) we seem to be affecting the nature of the discourse and we are clearly affecting the language used to describe the world.

For example, the use of the term 'the cabal' to describe the inner circle of vile shitheads in the bush administration was in wide circulation here, and now crops up regularly in the MSM.

For example fitzmas - which within its few weeks of usage here has become the cultural norm for describing the surprising and precipitous collapse of The Cabal.

So sometimes we are just a bunch of losers in our basements typing desperate messages to each other (not me though) and sometimes we are the voice of the people, the voice of truth unfettered, unshackled, and in the power of our uncontrolled cacophony we push the world just the slightest bit in the right direction.
