I suggest every citizen concerned by the 'shameless normalisation' of lying & the use of far-right rhetoric, engage with the work of Linguist, Ruth Wodak, who understands better than anyone the way language is mobilised by hard/far-right populists.

Wodak was asked "When and how do populist parties become unsuccessful? Is there a way to defeat them at the ballot box?"

“There is no justification for such obscene City bonuses at the best of times – let alone during a #CostOfLivingCrisis. While City executives rake it in, millions are struggling to keep their heads above water.” - Frances O’Grady, TUC general secretary.

“Working people are at breaking point, having been left badly exposed to soaring bills after a decade of standstill wages & universal credit cuts. Ministers have no hesitation in calling for public sector pay restraint, but turn a blind eye to shocking City excess.”

In 1921, the armed forces would not be integrated for another 27 years. WAAC would not be actualized for 21, and American Women’s right to vote was recognized less that a year prior.
Every day I am excited to be in an Army in 2021. One that is committing itself to #PeopleFirst. Initiatives like #ProjectInclusion, #ThisIsMySquad, and #WhatsYourWarrior are making my Army a stronger, more cohesive, more capable #USArmy than ever before.
Every dream, when it comes true, lays the foundation for newer goals, newer aspirations, and newer dreams. Spending the next year studying at @IIMAhmedabad could perhaps be the biggest adventure I've signed up for yet. @PGPX_IIMA Admit!! #backtoschool #MBA

I Woke up immediately looking for Where the Voice came from? I found that This Voice was from Within me. By now my Slumber had Vanished and I was fully awake . I left the bed, made a cup of tea and sat out in the balcony, enjoying the cool breeze and sipping my morning Tea
Various Thoughts started to Swim within me and then the below happened.
My Heart asked me a question. "Where is Success."
My Mind immediately Replied to My Heart, you, My Friend always Run to the World of Fantasy.
