Vachon Imagined

The lie of capitalism is the lie of erasure: canceling people’s lives, canceling their thoughts, as if the world could be tidied of dissent or discomfort. But where do you think these lives go? To a farm ruled by recalcitrants and soothsayers? To some imagined place of containment? The question misunderstands the nature of expression itself.

Censorship is futile. Expression does not disappear. It moves, it shifts, it finds a conduit, because mysticism, perception, and consciousness cannot be contained. They are learned, observed, and expressed. They are lived before they are labeled.

What offends you, what unsettles, what appears chaotic—it is not the world intruding on your order. It is the mirror of your own perception. It is the reflection of the self you refuse to confront, the self that cannot be escaped, the self that cannot be fully labeled or disciplined.

You cannot cancel life. You cannot cancel thought. The only control you have is over the narratives you accept, the stories you tell yourself, and the clarity with which you confront your own self-constructed religion, boundaries, and temples.

And when you do practice this self-control, it becomes the that current spreads, not as command, not even as control, but as presence.

And that is enough.

That has always been enough.
