In the book 1984, George Orwell symbolized this by showing that the model citizens readily accepted the government decree that 2+2=5. Many of the lies of the left are equally absurd. They are direct contradictions of what we know to be true. Alexander Solzhenitsyn and Václav Havel, two brilliant antagonists of tyranny, said that simply and steadfastly telling the truth was a fundamental weapon that citizens should use against tyrants. Solzhenitsyn said, “The simple step of a courageous individual is not to take part in the lie. One word of truth outweighs the world.”

The way our thugs, goons and tyrants have dealt with 'people telling the truth' is to create 'thought crimes' as a tactic of control. And the solution? Keep telling the truth. Be cancelled. Be shunned but don't let them shut you up.

Thanks for the link, GOPJ. This is an excellent analysis piece that draws heavily on the wisdom and insights of Aldous Huxley.

While Huxley cannot be considered a “Founding Father” of our Republic, he deserves special recognition as a Post-Founding Father.
