🇬🇧 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗮𝗻𝗴𝘂𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗘𝘃𝗶𝗹 – 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗵𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗸𝘀 𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻
Some texts don’t need commentary.
They reveal a mechanism.
Historian 𝗝𝗼𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗻 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗼𝘁, from 𝗦𝗼𝗿𝗯𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘆, shows how the grammar of the 1930s quietly reappears in our present.
He describes 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗺𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗺 that once allowed fascism to rise:
👉 a world where economic elites, fearing decline, trade democracy for control;
👉 where fear replaces reasoning;
👉 where 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗴𝘂𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 infiltrates everyday speech until it becomes “common sense.”
Chapoutot shows that 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗺 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗮𝘁 𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲.
It advances 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝗲𝗿𝗼𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗴𝘂𝗮𝗴𝗲, the corrosion of truth, and the fatigue of thought.
The same structure that paved the way for Nazism 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆, under new forms : algorithms, media empires, and cognitive exhaustion.
Evil never begins with violence. It begins with syntax.
That is precisely why we created 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗫 —
to 𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘆𝘇𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗴𝘂𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿.
To help societies remain lucid — and truth traceable — even in the heart of noise.
