What has dominated human conflict since the turn of the Millennium?

Here's an important question.
What do the following have in common?
  • 9/11 and Al Qaeda's subsequent attacks
  • The Iraq War (the guerrilla war)
  • The Nigerian Conflict (MEND vs. Shell Oil - 2007 -- cause of the oil price spike)
  • The Arab Spring (Tunisia/Lybia/Egypt)
  • Occupy
  • Anonymous
  • Snowden/Wikileaks crypto war.
They are all open source conflicts.  

Clearly, open source warfare -- a form of warfare where many participants, motivated for very different reasons, join together to take on a larger foe -- now dominates modern conflict.
