We live in an age where stories prop up systems, and symbols masquerade as truths. Behind the curtains of power, prosperity, and progress, something older stirs — a fracture, a failing, a collective remembering. This isn’t some doom-laden prophecy, but a recognition that the masks are slipping. Nations, as we’ve been taught to know them, are myths. And now, many are beginning to see through the veil — questioning, opting out, and seeking something more honest, more human.
