We live under what the great historian and economist Robert Higgs calls "Participatory Fascism".
The Powers give you just enough freedom within your pen to believe the delusion that you control the farm.
Once the scales fall from the people's eyes, they cannot unsee the truth: The empire, its ruling and subjugated classes, its agitprop soap opera called politics, its endless mass murder, its corporate agencies, its sycophantic intelligentsia, its disintegrating fiat currency, its absolute loathing of its subjects.
This is not order. It is chaos.
