Ablaze

Sometimes when my pen hits the paper I start to bleed. 

I scribbled this on a page of notebook paper and decided to post it—just raw and real. 

I wrote this while I felt like everything around me was on fire.

^Pervitin, Propaganda, and Power^

The story of Pervitin is not just about Nazi Germany—it’s a cautionary tale about what happens when power seeks to dominate not only people, but their biology. The Third Reich’s chemical warfare wasn’t just in gas chambers or on battlefields—it was in the bloodstream of its own citizens. The myth of Nazi discipline wasn’t built solely on ideology or fear—it was built on meth.

And as we examine modern systems of power, propaganda, and pharmaceutical dependence, we must ask ourselves: how much of our compliance is truly our own? And how has history mistaken intoxication for conviction?

Because the most dangerous drug of all is the one that makes us believe we’re in control.
