An epistemic community is a group of people with values and ideals in common, probably sharing instructional capital, but not necessarily any real sense of mutual protection, or social capital. A faction is an example. The ideology of "virtual community" is related to sysopism, an ideology that creates a priestly hierarchy to force its episteme on all others, or else practice social exclusion methods on them.
