Those that deny the truth, tend to suffer for it.
Though if you look at the truth it has the power to bring down empires, especially tyrannical ones that rely upon misinformation.
For instance:
The Soviet Union was brought down when Eastern Europe's citizens learned that the quality of life in the United States was way higher than their's.
The People's Republic of China accepted the truth and is now the fastest growing economy in the world.
Then there's the United States that consistently ignores the Truth of humanity needing to be free, and taxes being the moral equivalent of involuntary servitude. It is a nation that is descending into the same Socialist Tyranny that Eastern Europe and the PRC just left.
The Truth is the ultimate power, and the only one that can't be overthrown, and the truth is that no individual has the right to dictate to another individual what they must and must not do, just as a single individual does not have the right to pursue any actions that will cause direct harm to others.
Society is the construct of voluntary co-operation between individuals.
Government is a group of individuals that take from society with out actually contributing anything.
