KATCH-22

Collection One - What’s the Katch?

Truth

In Catch-22, truth is distorted often shaped by power and self-interest rather than objective reality. Turning lies into accepted truths through repetition and control, the novel underscores the absurdity of seeking truth in a world where deception & no-win situations are institutionalized.

Ultimately, it reveals that truth in this world is less about facts and more about who has the power to define reality.

Dialogue

The quote critiques how real dialogue in the U.S. is often blocked by unspoken rules or fear of disagreement. True discussion is stopped when only those who won't challenge the system are allowed to speak.

This prevents progress and deepens divisions.

Community

The quote reflects the challenge of building community in America, where cooperation is essential but can't satisfy everyone.

Balancing individual needs with collective goals is key to fostering unity in a diverse and divided nation.

Join Community

The catch-22 of America lies in the tension between truth, dialogue, and community.

"Slander into truth" reflects how those in power shape narratives, distorting truth to fit their agendas.

Meanwhile, "people permitted to ask questions…never did" exposes how genuine dialogue is stifled by fear or control, preventing challenges to the status quo.

Together, these issues within our system undermine societal cooperation & make unity difficult to achieve when truth is distorted and dialogue is suppressed.
