This is a big one. Being revolutionary means a lot of things to a lot of different people. To me, it means to fight for change on a mass scale, to fight for something that is right and true and will improve humanity or at least promote growth on a small scale. Eventually, one little act could have a massive impact.
I consider myself to be “a” revolutionary; I believe in revolution. My thoughts, ideas, and works have all been pretty “out there” to most people, but they are what I believe in. They are what I want to change in this world, how I want to improve the lives of my fellow colonists. Here me out, I will tell you some of these so called “radical” ideas.
First off, I believe in the abolishment of slavery. “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that ALL men are created equal. I repeat, ALL. There should not be any exceptions.
Second, I believe in education. Again, for all. For the rich and poor, women and children. And, I believe that public education should be free, easily accessible to all classes and people from all locations. I also would like these schools to use the Bible as a textbook to get a more complete education.
I want to improve the prison system.
I believe in diversity.
I believe in standing up for what you believe in. I have written numerous letters to advocate and explain to those who may be oblivious about the consequences of George Washington being in command, some issues I have with Hamilton, and others. I want the military to be and stay healthy.
I believe in environmental and personal hygiene. Did you know that it is very important to eat vegetables, wash your hands (hey 2020, wear masks?), drink less alcohol, exercise, and try to get good sleep if possible.
I believe illness is an imbalance in the body caused by a malfunction in the brain. This may be where I am the most revolutionary of all. Mental illness is real. So is addiction (primarily alcoholism right now, but it could be anything). We may not know much about it yet, but I will continue working to discover and implement treatments, as well as destigmatize and abolish any stereotypes that may exist and prevent knew ones from surfacing, to the best of my ability.
