The medium is the message
Yes it’s all about the media
Not the content on the Googles
CNNs and wikipedias
It’s about electricity.
Just like McLuhan said
Why do you think they call it power?
It’s all extensions of our heads
Accelerating cultures
‘Till they transform or get devoured
Yes our brains give shape to
Commodity chains
‘Mass’ media for the masses
It’s the new gospel truth
Whether communist or fascist
Propaganda has a use
Compressing time and space
With internet and computers
Can you create more change
With a blog or a six shooter?

You can create more change with a six shooter for the same reason michaelangelo's David causes more of a change in room full of paintings. The more dimensions something occupies the more tangible the message. Blogs occupy arguably 3 dimensions. You have the obvious 2D nature of the medium, and you also have the time it takes to understand the message. You have all of this in a gunshot, plus the added dimension of it being an actual object creating an actual effect. 4 dimensions. It occupies space, carries a message, is a time-based event, and is viewable as a tableau if you happen to be nearby.
