Topple the Throne of the Hegemony

Location

To speak one's mind:

Original.

Innovative.

Thoughtful.

 

To speak one's mind against the hegemony:

Terrifying.

Dangerous.

Amateur.

 

Up against millenia of hatred.

Of delusions.

Of rigid social standards.

Of oppression.

Of xenophobia.

 

One's mind may seek individuality.

Peace.

Skepticism.

Empiricism.

Rationality.

Feminism.

Secular Humanism.

 

The hegemony growls collectivism.

War.

Obedience.

Faith.

Illogic.

Misogyny.

Religious Fundamentalism.

 

Evil nonsense plagues the world.

One's individual self in a world of insanity.

 

Victims in a world where the victim is blamed.

Atheistic rejectors of delusions in a world where such rejectors are considered immoral.

Breakers of the norm in a world where the norm is good and the breakers are bad.

 

The hegemony's wrath cannot last forever.

Speak your mind.

Face your fears.

Transform the world.

 

A world where the predator is blamed, not the victim.

A world where the delusions are unethical, not the rejectors.

A world where the norm is bad and the breakers are good.

 

Be the voice that constructs millenia of love.

Of truth.

Of fluid social standards.

Of helping the oppressed.

Of xenophilia.

 

Allow reason and love to spread throughout the world.

Be the individual self who creates a world of sanity.
