Which norms and why?

Breaking free from societal norms because they are norms will not get you anywhere.

Wearing a shirt that says Fuck you and being a glum dick about everything wont win you friends or convert anyone to your cause.

Being approachable and listening to others in order to connect with them as a human...

They may be more inclined to see some sun followers as not total assholes as they pray to our dark lord
