The Deconstruction of Truth
~ How Lies Became a Tool of Power ~

There was a time ~ not long ago ~ when truth was considered sacred.

Facts mattered. Logic mattered. A man’s word was his bond, and honesty was a civic virtue, not a punchline.
Now? Truth is subjective. Reality is fluid. And the louder someone shouts their “lived experience,” the more authority they’re given—whether what they’re saying is true or not. We used to build civilization on truth. Now we build it on narratives.
And if the truth gets in the way? They cancel it, censor it, or redefine it entirely.
Welcome to the post-truth society - where power is maintained not by telling the truth, but by controlling what people are allowed to say.

When Truth Dies, Tyranny Thrives

George Orwell warned us: “The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

• You’re told inflation is under control - while your grocery bill has doubled.
• You’re told crime is down - while your city installs steel barriers around convenience stores.
• You’re told gender is a social construct - while biology books are quietly removed from schools.
• You’re told America was founded on hate - while millions risk their lives to come here.

It’s not just gaslighting. It’s narrative weaponry. A tool designed to control how people think by dictating what is true. And it’s working. Alarmingly well.

The Marxist Blueprint: Deconstruct Reality to Control It

One of the most dangerous imports from Marxist ideology is the belief that truth is not discovered—it’s created by those in power. This was the strategy all along:

1️. Destroy objective standards – Eliminate shared moral, scientific, and cultural truths.
2️. Replace them with feelings – Elevate subjective emotion over objective evidence.
3️. Control the language – Redefine words so only approved ideas can exist in public discourse.
4️. Silence dissent – Use shame, censorship, and cancellation to eliminate resistance.

The goal? To make truth so unclear that people stop trying to find it—and start obeying the people who claim to own it.

Censorship: The New Blasphemy Law

You used to be able to debate ideas in public. Now, if you challenge the wrong narrative, you’re silenced.

↪ Speak against lockdowns? → Deplatformed.
↪ Question an election? → Labeled a threat to democracy.
↪ Deny climate hysteria? → Blacklisted.
↪ Point out basic biological facts? → Fired or banned.

This isn’t debate. It’s dogma. Big Tech, corporate media, and academic institutions now operate like a high council of priests—deciding what is “truth,” punishing heresy, and purging the non-believers. And the government? They’re not just cheering it on. In many cases, they’re directly involved—flagging posts, steering narratives, and silencing whistleblowers who reveal inconvenient facts. This is not a free society. It’s informational totalitarianism.

Words No Longer Mean Anything (And That’s the Point)

In Orwell’s 1984, the regime used Newspeak to shrink the vocabulary until rebellion became impossible—because you cannot resist what you cannot describe. Sound familiar? Today’s American lexicon is a battlefield. Words are constantly redefined to suit political agendas:

• “Woman” – now means anything… and therefore means nothing.
• “Insurrection” – now means trespassing while unarmed.
• “Safe” – now means emotionally unchallenged, not physically secure.
• “Democracy” – now means obedience to the regime.
• “Hate” – now means disagreement.

This wordwashing isn’t accidental. It’s deliberate. If they can control your language, they can control your thoughts.

Truth Isn’t the Goal ~ Compliance Is

It’s time we stop pretending the people doing this are confused or misinformed. They’re not. They’re not trying to find the truth. They’re trying to replace it with a version that serves their power. They don’t want informed citizens. They want obedient ones.
The ruling class understands that a population grounded in truth cannot be manipulated. So the solution is simple: remove the truth from public life, and replace it with narratives that are easier to control.

⧐ That’s why facts are “racist.”
⧐ That’s why logic is “oppressive.”
⧐ That’s why history must be “reimagined.”

Because once you sever people from reality, they’ll believe anything. And a society that can’t agree on basic truths can be controlled indefinitely.

How Do We Fight for Truth in a Post-Truth World?

The answer isn’t just to be louder. It’s to be rooted. Because in an era of disinformation and chaos, the person who stands firm in truth becomes dangerous to the regime. Here’s how we fight back:

✓ Speak boldly. Say what is true—even if it’s unpopular, uncomfortable, or “offensive.” Silence is submission.
✓ Refuse to play their language games. Don’t use their fake terms. Call things what they are.
✓ Teach your kids objective truth. The system is trying to confuse them. Anchor them in logic, morality, and reality.
✓ Seek truth relentlessly. Turn off legacy media. Read history. Study primary sources. Ask questions. Dig.
✓ Build parallel systems of truth. Podcasts, newspapers, churches, schools—where truth is honored, not filtered.

Truth is not a social construct. It’s not subjective. It doesn’t change to suit political needs. It is eternal, and it is worth defending.

Because a Society Without Truth Cannot Be Free

Here’s the bottom line: Without truth, freedom dies. A population that can no longer recognize lies will obey anything.

• They’ll accept lockdowns in the name of safety.
• They’ll surrender speech in the name of tolerance.
• They’ll accept surveillance in the name of security.
• They’ll applaud censorship in the name of democracy.

And they’ll call it progress. If we want to rediscover America’s identity, we must first rediscover truth. Because without it, there is no foundation. No freedom. No future.
So let them call you a heretic. Let them mock, cancel, and shout. It means you’re over the target. Because the people most afraid of the truth are always the ones abusing power.

What you are not changing, you are choosing.
