NOTHING COMES FROM DOING NOTHING
Apathy is not an option
Inaction has never been the solution in a democracy, and today, this truth is more apparent than ever.
We are not left or right. Democrats or republicans. Communist or capitalist and all the shades in the political spectrum. We are global citizens who refuse to be silenced under the reign of a convicted felon.
We transcend political labels amid the chaos of contemporary politics. Avoiding the news is futile as the pervasive corruption taints the air, suffocating anyone with a sense of morality.
Our collective outrage and negative emotions in the face of injustice, ignorance, and human folly should serve as our inexhaustible source of energy towards change.
OUR PRINCIPLES
"A people that values its privileges above its principles soon loses both" - D. Eisenhower
We recognize the significance of nuances in a complex world. While different approaches to the same issues can be debated and policies can be negotiated, our values below are NOT.
Democracy
Allowing those who disrespected democracy to become its guardians again is akin to handing the fire back to the arsonist.
Nobody is above the law
It was a soundbite to lecture other countries until the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 on July 1, 2024, that "former presidents can never be prosecuted for actions relating to the core powers of their office." In other words, the president is now a king and an emperor in a system where money and power buy a different kind of justice. Justice is blind, but she certainly loves the smell of money.
Accountability
Felon cannot be president. Full stop. Convicted criminal cannot be in position of power to make decisions for us.
The earth is
not flat
We value freedom of speech but we only welcome discussions grounded in facts, science, logic, and reason. Conspiracy theorists and cultists, go FCKT yourself
Anti Anti-intellectualism
The pervasive notion that a quick two-minutes search on a phone gives people the same authority on a topic as experts who have dedicated their life to study for it is simply sickening. The growing mistrust in expertise, and the trust in misinformation peddled by social media are steering us to a cliff. We value the idea that knowledge and intellectual debate are essential for the progress and well-being of society.
Critical thinking
Denying facts is not "critical thinking"; it does not make you smarter. True critical thinking requires courage to accept facts, even when they challenge deeply held beliefs. Those who distort reality to fit their belief, those who bend over backwards to defend the indefensible, those who bend the truth to serve their own interests. Go FCKT yourself!
