👊🏽 TRY
Do, or do not, sometimes there IS a try.
📡 On my Radar
The day will come when all these skirmishes and battles, these moments of defiance will have flooded the banks of the Empire's authority and then there will be one too many. One single thing will break the siege.
Because tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks. It leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear.
Yes, there will be times when the struggle seems impossible. Alone. Unsure. Dwarfed by the size and scale of the enemy.
But remember that the frontier of the rebellion is everywhere and even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Even now there are whole armies, battalions that have no idea that they have already enlisted in the cause.
The Empire is a disease that thrives in darkness. It is never more alive than when we sleep.
And we’ve been sleeping. I’ve been sleeping. I’ve been turning away from a truth I wanted not to face.
We let it grow and now it’s here. It’s here and it's not visiting anymore.
The imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural.
Freedom on the other hand is a pure idea. It occurs spontaneously and without instruction.
If I could do it again, I’d wake up and be fighting from the start.
People are standing up. Join them.
Remember this: TRY.
Fight the Empire!
