So starting off, "They starved minds to fatten control." What I’m saying is, the people in power—whoever "they" are—didn't want people thinking too much. They kept everyone mentally underfed, you know? Like, don’t teach them how to really think critically, don’t encourage real questions. Because the less you feed the mind, the easier it is to control people. Meanwhile, their control gets bigger and stronger—it’s like they're stuffing their pockets while everyone else is running on empty.

Then, "Truth was rationed—crumbs for the masses." It’s not that no truth existed. Is that the real, whole truth? That was locked away. Instead, they handed out just tiny little pieces—enough to keep people going, but not enough for anyone to really understand what's happening. Like feeding someone just enough to keep them alive, but never enough to let them thrive.

Next, "Ignorance wasn’t an accident." This part’s important. It wasn’t like, "Oops, people just ended up uninformed." No—it was on purpose. It was designed that way. Keeping people confused, distracted, or fighting each other? That’s a strategy. Ignorance is a tool when you want to stay on top.

And then the last part, "It was a weapon, sharpened by those who feared what free minds could build." Because honestly, if people actually knew what was going on, if they could think for themselves clearly, they’d start building better systems. Better worlds. They’d stop playing along with the nonsense. And the people in charge knew that. So they kept ignorance sharp—like a blade—to protect their own power.

So yeah, that’s the heart of it. It’s about how controlling knowledge, controlling education, controlling truth—that's been one of the oldest tricks in the book to keep real change from happening.
