If you write on the internet, you are immediately authoritative.

People are more empowered now than ever before because every Joe Blow has a web-based chronicle (some of you call them "blogs.") Writing on the internet instantaneously gives you power and authority. People suddenly care about what you say, and no one dares to contradict you. Make sure to put words in the mouths of your detractors and rebut them all in the same article. See this article for examples. It is a powerful technique.

If you are arguing for things commonly accepted as hooey or perhaps poppycock, be sure to back it up with links to off-the-wall websites to make sure nobody can possibly disagree with you. (See the previously-linked article for further examples.) If they do, they're just idiots and should get off the internet. There is only room for powerful, authoritative people on the internet.

However, you must keep in mind at all times that the internet is a series of tubes rather than a dump truck. So write short, concise articles. Nobody wants to get some huge article through his 1/4" piece of copper tubing. He'll probably just get bored and leave. If he leaves, you won't be as authoritative and powerful as you could have been if he had stayed.

Also, people get really huffy if you say even the slightest thing negative about Israel (or Jews,) so avoid that at any cost. It makes you less powerful and authoritative. (See the previously-linked article for an example.)

Lastly, use the "find" tool in your browser to count the number of times the word "power" appears in this article. By my count, it is seven. That is a lot.
