The culture war has always been real vs bogus. Mass media monopolized the real by constructing in parallel a distribution medium and a culture of authority built on top of it. The levers of reality building include the ability to mass disseminate ideas. When social media co-oped the public to generate content in order to sell ads for money, it handed over the mechanism of reality construction to the masses - we de-monopolized reality construction for a few trillion dollars in market cap. It's weird to see reality sold out to the highest bidder, but at the same time, I couldn't see it going any other way. The reptilians have a strange affinity for hording gold. Modern day dragons.
