Titanic Revolution

The Titanic Revolution was a populist uprising spearheaded by the Titans beginning during the Aevum Purgans (somewhere in the late 2300s to early 2400s). The Titans, for the first time in history, came to an agreement that the world was in dire straights, and that people were being abused by their leaders. As such, they formed the Titanspact and agreed to overthrow the corrupt governments of man and inspire the human race to return to a true form of self-government.
The Titanic Revolution fed primarily on growing distrust of government and media figures who had embraced wholeheartedly the Revisionist Movement, where every fact was considered to have an equal and opposite fact. The erosion of trust between those in power and the people they led created a gulf which the Titans were able to exploit.
Most of the specific moments of the Revolution and the key ideaologies have been lost to time, but the few that historians have been able to deduce (mostly from the Codex Titanicum) are as follows:
#A government exists for the good of its people or not at all
#Human beings are born free, and are meant to live free. Any form of government which willfully ignores the right of self-determination is fundamentally flawed, and necessarily oppresses the people it governs
#Human begins are wholy dependent on the Earth for their continued wellbeing. Any form of government which allows the continued degredation of the Earth without taking appropriate steps to protect the environment in which its people live is fundamentally flawed, and necessarily dooms future generations
#Human beings are incapable of surviving outside of a community of mutual aid, and must necessarily depend on one another to provide essential goods and services. Any form of government which denies the interconnectedness of mankind and refuses to help those in need is fundamentally flawed, and necessarily oppresses the weakest of its people
#Human beings are intelligent beings able to make choices to determine their own destiny. To do so, they rely on facts and truth. Any government which willfully lies to and deceives its people is fundamentally flawed, and necessarily oppresses the people it governs
The Revolutions would be guided by these principles as the Titans set about leading the people to topple their governments. Many of the Traditions which arose during the Aevum Purgans would unite to be the motive, grassroots force behind the Titanic Revolution.
