| Some think it is closely associated with [[w:scientism]], that "those who have technological power, are morally superior by definition" and that this POV simply rationalizes infinite [[technological escalation]] by those who think they are fated to always be in possession of technologically superior tools. ''See also [[Apache Helicopter point of view]] and [[Cruise Missile point of view]] and [[Fox News point of view]].''
| | By definition, any group of people approves of their own [[systemic bias]] and rejects strong opposition to it. This forms a [[cabal]] which new [[trolls]], perhaps foolishly, oppose in the assumption that the cabal can be forced to see sanity, by anything short of political opposition. The [[New Troll point of view]] is thus always and exactly the opposite of the SVpov, and indicates ethical attempts by [[trolls]] to defeat the SVpov by rational argument, before the service is subject to real-world opposition (e.g. widespread criticism, legal action, etc.) due to its political importance. |

| The statement '''There is no cabal''' is of course from '''cabal point of view''' and expresses their desire for control with secrecy and no form of outside accountability. It is basically an in-joke.
| | Thus [[troll]] activity acts as an important warning to the [[sysop vandalism]] advocates - when it slacks off, that indicates either that the wiki has become irrelevant, or, that opposition will continue by other means, e.g. [[lawsuit]]s, or the more standard revolutionary methods for [[wiki regime change]]. |

| By definition, any group of people approves of their own [[systemic bias]] and rejects strong opposition to it. This forms a [[cabal]] which new [[trolls]], perhaps foolishly, oppose in the assumption that the cabal can be forced to see sanity, by anything short of political opposition. The [[New Troll point of view]] is thus usually (but not always) the opposite of the SVpov (strictly speaking it is the exact opposite of [[usual happy NPOV talk]]). The NTPOV indicates ethical attempts by [[trolls]] to defeat the SVpov by rational and reasoned argument, before the service is subject to real-world opposition (e.g. widespread criticism, legal action, etc.) due to its political importance. In general such attempts fail because of the lack of ethics of the sysop-vandals.

| Sometimes just using the word '''cabal''' [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Troll_Silent%2C_Troll_Deep as Troll Silent, Troll Deep did] triggers hostility and censorship by the cabal itself
