Fear: Activist Writers Collective

We the people have been trained to fear. Fear the future, fear the past, fear the present. We have been conditioned to fear those in authority, with mindless conspiracy theories arising to reinforce this fear. We have been pushed towards an abyss of endless fears: fear of poverty, fear of the oppressors, fear of loneliness, fear of not belonging.
I for one, fear no man. I fear no rich man, no violent institution, no corrupt corporation. I fear no police officer, I fear no oppressive system. I fear no mindless teacher, no system-worshipping professor. I fear no petty bourgeois politician.
I am ready for the struggle, I am aware of the consequences, of the meanings that are replete in the act of standing up against the system. No man is higher than me, no billionaire is worth anything more than me, no ‘successful’ person is more human than me.
I will not allow society to define me, I will not allow racism to objectify me. I will not allow the business as usual model to scare me. I am not afraid of unemployment, I am not afraid of poverty, I am not afraid of police brutality.
We the people should not fear, but as one should stand!
