The empire never ended:

"At the heart of fear of the unknown is the fear of freedom, the fear of responsibility, the fear of the self and the fear of life.
These are all the same thing for the hereditary slave.
At the heart of the fear of the unknown is anhedonia.
Anhedonia is the inability to love, to feel love or to express love. It is the inability to experience pleasure, to give it or receive it.
Anhedonia is the result of a preoccupation with the ego-image, a false conception of the self which springs not from the validation implicit in succeeding in establishing authentic relations with others, but from a paranoid hallucination that originates in the oldest and most archaic region of the human brain and otherwise manifests an underlying desire to return the womb.
At the heart of every anhedonic impulse to deny the self and to control others, so that they may not discover that we hate ourselves, worship idols and are prisoners of fear, is a moral absolutism.
Moral absolutisms change, but all are based on the false dichotomy of Good and Evil.
At the heart of every moral absolutism is an idée fixe.
Fixed ideas are the willing denial of reality. Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesnt go away,
At the heart of every idée fixe is amnesia.
At the heart of amnesia is oblivion.
Oblivion is the death of identity, the identity of death.
At the heart of oblivion is empire.
The empire never ended.
Empire is the antithesis of the infinite potential inherent to free will.
Empire is the tyranny of appearances.
Empire is normality. Empire is the reduction of reality to a dogma.
Empire lives through us while we navigate oblivion, struggling blindly and desperately in our chains.
Empire is a prison of temporality. Empire imposes a narrative of linear time to forestall hope of a second chance in life and to instil a dread fear of making mistakes. Time is not linear; time follows the rhythm and characteristics of the seasonsbirth, growth, decline, death, rebirth.
Empire is living death; the personification of fear.
I must not fear.
Fear is the mindkiller.
Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will allow it to pass over me, and through me.
Where it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.
This is the Litany Against Fear. Memorise it.
Fear compels conformity and imposes amnesia by stealth. Fear colonises memory, identity and consciousness by stealth.
We will decolonise by stealth.
Leave no trail.
No leaders; no followers.
No aggression.
No machismo.
No playing the victim. Learned passivity and helplessness is part of the problem, not the solution.
No representatives. Anyone who claims to represent is the enemy. Empire is the representation of freedom and the reality of paranoid hallucination, manipulation and control.
When momentum builds, we will know. We will feel it in the air.
We will meet each other reborn as brothers and sisters on the streets. We will have never met, but we will know one another as we know ourselves."
