"[The Regime] stopped defending its arguments a long time ago. What it defends now is the power to decide which arguments are even permitted to sound respectable."
Clear, concise distillation of a big idea into an easily digestible, nutritious cognitive snack.
Again:
"A caste has confused its own position with civilisation, and it now treats dissent as an assault on the foundations of the world."
Perfect.
Truly effective writing:
"[The Regime] stopped defending its arguments a long time ago. What it defends now is the power to decide which arguments are even permitted to sound respectable."
Clear, concise distillation of a big idea into an easily digestible, nutritious cognitive snack.
