Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

Between the ideological gatekeeper hegemonies and the social media apps that create ideological bubbles and individual realities we are in for a shit show of our own creation.
It has become increasingly impossible to talk to people normally anymore on so many topics because all that they see is viral crap, sarcasm and stuff they’ve unwittingly programmed their devices to show them.
We’ve made our brains as dysfunctional as our bodies. Call it cranial metabolic syndrome.

It's 2021. What the hell are "gatekeepers"?
Presumably, pretty much everybody except that acme of American journalism, the New York Post.

WaPo? NYT? CBS? NBC? ABC?
Gatekeepers are a problem for luddite boomers who still only watch CNN and Fox because they haven't yet learned about blogs and YouTube.
Please love yourself.

And that's where you're wrong. You're making the mistake, that because you are plugged in, everybody is.
Except for older people.If you look at the stats about the Hunter Biden story, the Gatekeepers smothered that one story so effectively, it may have swung the election. So the power to mold knowledge and opinion is still there.

Why bother when you've already hacked into the voting machines and are shipping in millions of illegal votes from elsewhere?
Or are we acknowledging that never happened?

Deflection.
But yes, I believe part of the vote was crooked as hell, particularly the mail-in ballots

Why bother
That is the question that remains about the Watergate break-in.
He won 49 of 50 States.
Why bother with a third-rate burglary?

Except for older people.Except for the very poor, everyone else can get plugged in too. Even then people are working on bridging the digital divide for the poor. Being "old" is not a good excuse for letting yourself be the prisoner of one or two media outlets.
