Text from Timothy Snyder’s book On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century. “10. Believe in Truth. To abandon facts is to abandon freedom. If nothing is true, then no one can criticize power, because there is no basis upon which to do so. If nothing is true, then all is spectacle. The biggest wallet pats for the most blinding lights.”
