"When it comes to controlling human beings there is no better instrument than lies. Because, you see, humans live by beliefs. And beliefs can be manipulated. The power to manipulate beliefs is the only thing that counts."

![[photo of page from The Neverending Story]: "Whatever they please. When it comes to controlling human beings there is no better instrument than lies. Because, you see, humans live by beliefs. And beliefs can be manipulated. The power to manipulate beliefs is the only thing that counts. That's why I sided with the powerful and served them - because I wanted to share their power.'
'I want no part in it!' Atreyu cried out.
'Take it easy, you little fool,' the werewolf growled.
'When your turn comes to jump into the Nothing, you too will be a nameless servant of power, with no will of your own. Who knows what use they will make of you? Maybe you'll help them persuade people to buy things they don't need, or hate things they know nothing about, or hold beliefs that make them easy to handle, or doubt the truths that might save them. Yes, you little Fantastican, big things will be done in the human world with your help, wars started, empires founded..."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2kf2qj56o2vq7jfaq4x4ogp6/bafkreih4s2uzfh5jnzmrjlsrd4tgpjus7k4flyezj4q3a3c76mwrwy424q@jpeg)

I used to work at a small shop that made little plastic vampires.
There were only 2 of us working there, so I had to make every second count.

There is evidence supporting this globally already. When you repeat far right framing you end up normalising it. We're seeing same thing with Labour pandering to the far right, and how they're actually helping Reform gain support with their rhetoric and policies.

This brilliant video by singer Chris Cron deserves its own applause (he’s on Instagram), but it also reminds us how astonishingly good Queen were as songwriters and musicians. The melody, harmony, and lyrical flair are all elite — and this isn’t even one of their Top 5 most downloaded songs!
