The Internet is a more powerful seduction than the Macintosh, it has promise that the Mac never had, after all it's the platform without a platform vendor, so there's no one to blame for it getting stuck. Never mind, the collective net still blames Microsoft. It won't work, because Microsoft isn't responsible, as Apple wasn't. They never promised to take care of you, and honestly, realistically, you won't die if they don't. Yet the arguments have the seriousness of a life and death struggle.
People use war analogies.
No individual person is to blame for the failure of inspiration on the net, the blame lies with human nature. If we can evolve we can be powerful. If we have no discipline, if anything goes, we go back to the dysfunction of the houses we were raised in. It's like being in a bad marriage with millions of people. It goes bad in an instant.
