"[Some one / thing external that you have no control over] is [crap / wrong / evil]"

They are all ways of saying "Look over there!"
 

We have to learn to stop falling for the drama @ distractions

 
In effect, by focusing attention on the external, the mind gatekeepers are usurping our agency for change.
 
For real change, the real revolution that needs to take place is in our own mind:

  • our attention and thoughts
  • focused towards building our own usurpation-free world @ usurper-free Dom

The first one is horrifying to me and the second one doesn't bother me at all.

Free speech is crucial and Arden has no excuse for trying to curtail it.

But Fauci spent years suffering daily death threats to his family while just trying to do a thankless job, and for that, he most certainly deserves two million dollars.

Just to clarify, here @GauteNilsen and @robinmonotti are the mind gatekeepers.

Okay, I definitely don't understand. They just seem like ordinary Twitter users who posted links to articles.

This depiction should be of help.
Mind Gatekeepers keep people focused on the status quo when we can & should work toward new ways (see sub-banner), bypassing the status quo, for real change
