    Nemik’s manifesto would be my pick, too, mainly because it resonated with me when I was feeling helpless about the world

    Tap for spoiler

    There will be times when the struggle seems impossible. I know this already. Alone, unsure, dwarfed by the scale of the enemy.

    Remember this, Freedom is a pure idea. It occurs spontaneously and without instruction. Random acts of insurrection are occurring constantly throughout the galaxy. There are whole armies, battalions that have no idea that they’ve already enlisted in the cause.

    Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

    And remember this: the Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear.

    Remember that. And know this, the day will come when all these skirmishes and battles, these moments of defiance will have flooded the banks of the Empires’s authority and then there will be one too many. One single thing will break the siege.

    Remember this: Try.

    Why? The existence of an achievement doesn’t mean you have to do it.

    It’s the easy ones that should go away. They’re just participation trophies, you didn’t “achieve” anything by beating the game. They should be actual challenges that most people can’t overcome…that’s what makes it an achievement
