Speak out against tyranny, clarify your positions, never stay silent, and speak truth to ‘claimed’ power. Without speaking, without expressing your true nature, with acceptance of other’s views instead of your own, and with fear of being yourself, you will always be in a herd, and therefore, unable to think or reason. The longer you remain in this state, the less likely you are to ever be free, even for a moment.
To find all the answers to the plight you have brought on yourselves, just look in the mirror. All the answers are there, as the only person who can save you is you.
