A comment I just made on Chef, subcluster 8

[azurelunatic]

I ask: "Dude. Where's the entry?"

thette replies: "Chef. Subcluster 8."

I immediately understand.

"It says a lot about my LJ-geekery and my staying on top of current LJ-government events that *is suddenly stopped cold mid-sentence by the realization that she's probably a citizen of LJ, rather than any territory-based country* I know exactly what you mean. "

But what is the nature of LJ-government? It has a select group of people who Make Things Happen, a wider group of people who Help Things Along, a class of taxed citizenry, and a class of unwashed masses. Not quite an aristocracy. Some features are comparable to cultish hierarchies, but a theocracy, we ain't.

Oligarchy of some sort, I think.

As a Permanent User, I'm probably some form of aristocrat, as well as one of those who help things along.
