positive jamming

A type of mob-based socialism seen frequently in the Internet Age in which the intent is to stifle and even eliminate political debate and opinions contrary to the mob. Especially popular among folk singers, baristas and people who thought that turning their bodies into bad kitsch art sounded like a nifty idea at the time.

"Did you see that web site that said young voters are 'fashion follow monkeys' and that Obama is manipulating us? Let's go lay some positive jamming on them. If that don't shut them up, we can even launch a denial of service attack."
