There Is No Cabal
There Is No Cabal (abbreviated TINC) is a catchphrase and running joke found on Usenet.[1] The journalist Wendy M. Grossman writes that its appearance on the alt.usenet.cabal FAQ reflects conspiracy accusations as old as the Internet itself.[2] The anthropologist Gabriella Coleman writes that the joke reveals "discomfort over the potential for corruption by meritocratic leaders".[1]
