That likely won't work as long as most people still use the internet. What good does it do to have a bunch of local groups if the majority of people are hooked to a handful of data-streams all propagating the same worldview?

Because any time there's a big change it's always a minority pushing it and the majority just sit back and let it happen to them.

Just look at events over the past year.

While people are hooked to the internet arguing about events on the other side of the world real local political changes are being made without most people noticing. The internet is actually making that kind of activity easier.
