Not through invasion.

Not through immigrants.

But through disengagement, misinformation, and apathy.

When voters stop questioning power, stop learning, stop demanding accountability, the government doesn’t answer to the people anymore — it answers to whoever learned how to manipulate the least informed the fastest.

As Noam Chomsky warned:

“Voting becomes meaningless the moment the choices are designed by the same interests.”

An uninformed electorate is not a failure of intelligence — it’s a failure of systems that benefit from confusion.

This is how we lose control of government:

Not by outsiders taking it —

but by insiders convincing people not to think.

Awareness is resistance.

Words shape how we see ourselves, each other, and the world. But some words don’t stay pure — they get twisted, weaponized, and used to divide us.

This week, I’m breaking down how language gets distorted, why certain words were turned into tools of harm, and which ones can (and can’t) be reclaimed. If we don’t understand the meaning behind the words we use, someone else will rewrite that meaning for us.

This one is powerful.

This one is necessary.

This one is about taking our power back.

I’m officially sharing that I’m a self-published author on Amazon. One of my favorite projects is Love’s True Form — a collection of poems I wrote between 2009–2013. It’s deeply personal, and I’m proud it’s finally out there.

This week on Eccentric Realizations, I’m reflecting on the messiness of healing — the nights where sleep doesn’t come easy, the shadow work that asks us to face what we’d rather ignore, and the vision of a rich life that keeps me going.

Every step matters. Even when it feels small. Even when it’s hard. 💫
