The coward’s creed. (Sony Thang on X)

The philosophy of those who have already surrendered.

“The strong do as they please, the weak suffer what they must."

You parrot Thucydides, but you miss the lesson.

Athens spoke those words in arrogance.

And Athens fell.

Because brute power alone is never enough.

Because history is not kind to those who believe in nothing but force.

Because empires built on conquest, cruelty, and arrogance all meet the same fate—ruins.

You think you sound wise.

You sound broken.

Stripped of any belief in justice, in right and wrong, in anything beyond power.

And that is exactly how those who rule you want you to think.

That nothing can change.

That the boot on your neck is just the way of the world.

That the crimes of empire are simply 'how things are.'

You repeat the logic of tyrants as if it were wisdom.

It is not.

It is submission.

It is the lie told by every ruler, every conqueror, every butcher—to justify their crimes.

And the only ones who repeat it are those who have already accepted their chains.

Not me.

Not ever.

Because if history teaches anything, it is this:

The strong do as they please—until they don’t.

The weak suffer—until they rise.

And those who think themselves invincible always learn, too late, that power is never permanent.

That is the real rule.

And that is why your masters fear the world that is coming.
