Note that this global nature is just an artifact of the unified global communications toolset represented by the Internet and used so effectively by the mass media. The only reason we’ve not seen such global tyrannical efforts before is that they weren’t possible, since media organs and power were concentrated in nation-states, not distributed across the planet by the abstraction layer of the Internet.
