America, where are you now? Don't you care about your sons and daughters? Don't you know we need you now? We can't fight alone against the monster. America where are you now? Monster”-Steppenwolf 1969 https://youtu.be/eNp4LrWtz8M?si=-JQu4m10JmtZnhfe
Power doesn’t bark orders anymore—it flatters, nudges, and lets you think you chose the lie yourself. Invisible Rulers shows how systems win without villains. Truth isn’t defeated by force, my dear—it’s outpaced by comfort and applause.

If there’s a warning in this book, it’s not about propaganda alone. It’s about a public that prefers comfort to judgment and spectacle to responsibility. And frankly, my dear, that’s a weakness no republic survives for long.

Vance isn’t dangerous because he’s extreme, but because he’s legible and effective. He uses his biography to launder structural violence into moral instruction, giving authoritarian politics a respectable, fluent, populist face. That credibility lowers resistance. Deeper reflection is resistance.

You have a generous and perceptive writing! Newspeak was obvious—you could see the cage. What passes now is smoother; we learn what passes. We choose words that travel. Algospeak. It doesn’t silence us. It teaches us to silence ourselves. You two however, with a precision-scalpel cut through Clean!

Good leads. Thank You. On Language you transcend in a time where Orwellian Newspeak’s already old and Algospeak is rising not because it clarifies reality, but because it passes unseen through systems designed to reward engagement, safety, and scale. Brave On!

I admire your scalpel-work on national mythology! History doesn’t move when truth wins; it moves when action survives. When truth offers no livable future, people choose myth. Expose a lie without replacing it, and power will supply a harsher one—because history abhors paralysis more than illusion.

You keep diagnosing the world my Dear. Fine. But drift happens because no one pays the cost. Nihilism wins because it’s profitable. Truth never failed—accountability did. When nothing has a price, reality’s optional. You don’t fix post-truth with better ideals- you reattach speech to consequences!
