A NEW MOVEMENT FIT FOR THE COMPLEX REALITIES OF THE 21st CENTURY:

Suddenly we find ourselves in a world where standing up for the "universal and fundamental natural right to bodily integrity" results in discrimination, layoffs and social exclusion. Censorship, once unimaginable, has become the norm, discussing facts online leads to de-platforming and elections result in the same Build Back Better policy.

WAIT believes that the management of the corona crisis and the loss of civil rights is symptomatic for fundamental flaws in our Western democracies, and that the classical political system of representative democracy no longer adequately embodies citizens' rights and their interests.

As the executive branch has become increasingly technocratic, globalist and powerful, citizenship's role as electoral guardians of the democratic system has been reduced to mere symbolism. As voters are no longer able to influence large-scale policies at the national level we are in danger of quickly becoming more like China than our Western liberal societies.

It is our conviction that if we want to prevent the permanent loss of fundamental freedoms and human rights, citizens must find another way to unite into a new decentralized collective, in a manner that adequately reflects the challenges and opportunities of a hyper-digitized world.

WAIT’s manifesto is an invitation to join the World Alliance of Independent Thinkers and develop into a legal, philosophical, and political force fit for the complex realities of a hyper-digitized 21st century,

And that ‘We the People’, through our Unifying Ideal of a society build on the shared sovereignty of our individual humanity, firmly reflected in our constitutions and international treaties, can truly fulfill our envisioned Potential, and together Protect and Strengthen our fragile democracies in our common pursuit of Life, Liberty and Happiness.
