Take Down the Signs / Stop Living Within a Lie

Описание: 🪟 Once, a sign was placed in a window.
Not because it was believed,
but because it kept the peace.

🕊️ This piece explores how societies learn to live inside stories
long after those stories stop being true —
how power replaces force with language,
how “order” becomes performance,
and how people adapt simply to get along,
to keep working,
to keep the lights on. 💡

🧠 Living within a lie is not about ignorance.
It’s about survival inside systems
that reward partial truth.

📜 Inspired by reflections on “living within a lie,”
by historical moments when legitimacy fractured
before laws were forced to change,
by the long arc of the civil rights movement,
and by the music of the Chitlin’ Circuit —
where truth traveled quietly through rhythm, voice,
and lived experience
when official channels were closed. 🎶🍑

⚖️ This work is shaped by the idea that values-based realism
is not a slogan,
but a practice —
and that attention, once focused,
changes weight.

🌍 Inspired by themes raised in Mark Carney’s Davos speech,
and by the lived experience of citizens in Minneapolis
and other cities across the United States.

🚫 Divide and conquer is no longer allowed.
