Our strategy should be not only to confront empire, but to lay siege to it. To deprive it of oxygen. To shame it. To mock it. With our art, our music, our literature, our stubbornness, our joy, our brilliance, our sheer relentlessness and our ability to tell our own stories.

Stories that are different from the ones we’re being brainwashed to believe.

The system will collapse,

if we refuse to buy what they are selling- their ideas, their version of history, their wars, their weapons, their notions of inevitability.

Remember this: We be many and they be few.

They need us more than we need them.

Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day,

I can hear her breathing.

Arundhati Roy
