There Is No Cabal

There Is No Cabal (abbreviated TINC^[1]) is a catchphrase and running joke found on Usenet.^[2] The journalist Wendy M. Grossman writes that its appearance on the alt.usenet.cabal FAQ reflects conspiracy accusations as old as the Internet itself.^[3] The anthropologist Gabriella Coleman writes that the joke reveals "discomfort over the potential for corruption by meritocratic leaders".^[2]
