> as the true nature of who holds power hasn't shifted in any significant way from what I can tell. Well, in some sense the big, true power-holders haven't really shifted all that much. You still have an unfortunate amount of Iraq war fanboys in the Federal world. There is still a mess of "old white guy" in business. Only, this isn't a whole, true, and good picture for the Average Joe. To a bottom-status person there is a contiuum of power above. Now, if a "victim class" makes a stink at work a non-victim is liable to be on the losing end even if the "victim" is a genuine shit-bag. This isn't particularly new to the era, the "Jesse Jackson" victim-grifter class has existed for decades now but much like publishing, the internet has democratized the ability to raise a lynch mob against a target. EDIT: It would be swell if the down-voter would be forced to provide some semblance of feedback...
