The basic tool for the manipulation of reality is the manipulation of words. If you can control the meaning of words, you can control the people who must use the words.
Reality is that which, even if you stop believing in it, continues to exist and does not disappear.
Any society in which people interfere in the private lives of others is not a good society; any state in which the government 'knows about you more than you do' is a state that must be overthrown.
Do you know what the true basis of political power is? Not weapons or troops, but the ability to make others do what one wishes them to do.
We have a lot of leaks in our reality.
