Banned for Life • Annie Bien
Annie Bien The Harmonious Society

Through our kindness and compassion, we will bring you out of the backwardness of your own cultural background and provide you with modern amenities. Even though you belong to our ethnic minority, we can still give you a very good job, provide you with a new house with plumbing, if you follow a few rules. Harmony cannot be achieved without a few sacrifices. For the sake of your children you must not resist our kindness and repay us with your gratitude. We have very few requirements for you to achieve happiness and success. You will no longer speak your own language in public places, you must speak the language of the nation. Your religion is now the government. You must swear your allegiance to us. If you choose to participate in your own culture and religion it will be for tourist purposes only. For your own safety and survival, your culture is now relegated to being an artifact. If you are caught in possession of a photo of the religious leader we do not recognize, you will have to be rehabilitated. You may only worship what is sanctioned. Thank you for taking part in the education program. You will appreciate the happiness that will come to you and your family when you integrate yourself in unity with the harmonious society. Rest assured that our younger generation will not be as tolerant as we are of your ways.
