On its face the internet seems like a powerful organisation tool, but in reality it's quite bad. These online movements are often so large and prone to in-fighting that no real leadership ever emerges, so they never figure out what their actual demands are. They're good at producing public backlash and getting brands to take down their content, but not much else.

That sounds more like a self-declared leftist thing than an internet thing. It is old enough that Monty Python satarized them.
