Standards of Conduct

These standards define who may represent this movement, how authority is exercised, and what behavior is never tolerated.

They exist to protect citizens, constrain power, and ensure this movement never becomes what it opposes.

Agreement with ideas is not enough.
Representation requires conduct.

---

1. Responsibility before authority

No one is granted authority before they demonstrate responsibility.

• Authority is earned by carrying real responsibility.
• Responsibility means owning outcomes — not opinions.
• Titles, popularity, funding, or visibility do not grant authority.

Anyone who seeks influence before burden is unfit to lead.

2. The non-negotiable standards (H.I.T.)

All participants and representatives are bound by the same three standards at all times:

Honesty

• Truth is never sacrificed for momentum, advantage, or narrative.
• Lying, distortion, omission, or deliberate misrepresentation is disqualifying.
• "For the greater good" is never an excuse.

Integrity

• Private behavior must align with public posture.
• Standards demanded of others must be lived personally.
• Integrity is consistency under pressure, not intent.

Transparency

• Decisions must be explainable, reviewable, and accountable.
• Authority must withstand scrutiny.
• Resistance to oversight signals unfitness for leadership.

Violation of any one of these standards results in immediate loss of representational authority.

3. Who may represent the movement

Supporting this movement does not grant representational authority.

Representation is granted only to those who:

• reduce chaos rather than amplify it
• build functioning systems, not dependence
• accept limits on their authority
• can be removed without resistance

Representation is conferred, never claimed.

4. Disqualifying behaviors

The following behaviors permanently disqualify representation.
No warnings. No appeals. No exceptions.

• Lying or misleading for advantage
• Performative outrage or escalation
• Ego-driven leadership or self-promotion
• Creating dependency instead of capacity
• Selective enforcement of standards
• Factionalism or internal division for power
• Refusal of accountability or oversight

Removal is quiet and final.
Silence after removal is containment, not punishment.

---

5. Leadership is replaceable and conditional

No individual is essential.

• All leadership roles are conditional.
• All authority is limited in scope and duration.
• Anyone may be removed if standards are violated.

A movement that cannot remove its leaders will eventually be captured by them.

---

6. Conduct under disagreement and pressure

All participants must:

• act within the law and constitutional order
• welcome disagreement without hatred
• refuse emotional escalation
• create space before conflict hardens

We reduce chaos.
We do not weaponize emotion.
We do not trade restraint for attention.

---

7. No personality, no saviors

This movement is not built around personalities, founders, or public figures.

• No one speaks as the movement without authorization.
• No one is above standards.
• No loyalty overrides conduct.

The mission comes before any individual.

---

8. The leadership oath

Anyone representing this movement affirms the following:

---

9. Enforcement

Standards are enforced:

• quietly
• consistently
• without public spectacle

Evidence is reviewed.
A decision is made.
Action is taken.
The process is documented.

Movements that enforce standards loudly are already failing.
