Doublethink
Unmasking Society's Paradox: Doublethink Unveiled
Lyrics
It's out of control
Referring to a situation that is no longer under control.
Pointing fingers in a spiral down an endless hole
Blaming others in a continuous downward spiral with no end.
Production of fear
Generating fear, possibly through manipulation or propaganda.
Echo chambers telling everyone what they want to hear
Enclosed spaces where people hear what they want, reinforcing their beliefs.
Honesty is pliant
Honesty is flexible or easily influenced.
Larceny is pious
Stealing or dishonesty is considered morally upright.
Equity is bias
Equality is perceived as biased.
This is not behind us
Issues are unresolved and continue to affect the present.
It's falling apart
A situation is deteriorating.
Lines in the sand running deep enough to cut the heart
Deep divisions causing emotional pain.
A tectonic shift
A significant and fundamental change.
Ocean filling in the spaces of a growing rift
Increasing separation, like an expanding gap in relationships.

Prejudice or intolerance is portrayed as virtuous.
Evidence is blindness
Choosing not to see evidence or facts.
Fantasy is science
Imagination is presented as a substitute for scientific understanding.
Knowledge is a virus
Knowledge is portrayed negatively, perhaps as a disruptive force.
Avarice is righteous
Greed or excessive desire is seen as morally right.
Pacifism's violence
Non-violent ideologies are paradoxically associated with violence.
Patriotic tyrants
Rulers claiming patriotism while acting tyrannically.
This is not behind us
Past issues continue to impact the present.
Service is compliance
Service to authority is portrayed as compliance.
Media is silent
Media is portrayed as unresponsive or not addressing critical issues.
Politicians' spineless
Political figures lacking backbone or integrity.
Honesty's for liars
Honesty is considered deceitful.
History beguiles us
History is deceptive or misleading.
Compromise divides us
Compromises exacerbate divisions.
Division unites us
Division among people is ironically a unifying force.
This is not behind us
Persistent issues from the past are still affecting the present.
