When humanity (led by men) has contested the allocation of scarce resources, or seen a clash between strong personalities, or come up with differing interpretations of a sacred truth, it has often resulted in full-scale war. A few mean blog posts suddenly don’t seem so bad.

They've managed to flirt with Stalinist levels of unpersoning just using "a few mean blog posts". Good lord, if they got nukes we'd all be fucked sideways.
