The cheers of the victorious people echoed through the streets as we stood amidst the ruins of the capital, our breaths coming in ragged gasps but our spirits soaring. The puppet government had fallen, and with it, the shackles of pseudo-education and oppression that had held Pashtunistan in their grip for far too long.

  Mizuno stepped forward, her expression serious as she surveyed the crowd. The people quieted, their eyes turning to her with a mix of curiosity and anticipation. She took a deep breath, her voice steady and strong as she began to speak.

  "My friends," she said, her words carrying across the plaza, "today marks a new beginning for Pashtunistan. We have fought long and hard against the puppet government and their USA masters, and today, we emerge victorious."

  The crowd cheered, their voices rising in a chorus of triumph and joy. Mizuno raised her hands, calling for silence as she continued.

  "But our victory is not just about defeating an enemy," she said, her expression darkening. "It is about freeing ourselves from the evils of the USA's child imprisonment system, a tyranny masquerading as education. For too long, we have suffered under this oppression, our children stolen from us and forced into schools where they are indoctrinated with the USA's propaganda and stripped of their individuality."

  A murmur of agreement rippled through the crowd, the people nodding their heads solemnly as they remembered the horrors they had endured.

  "We must never forget the evils that were inflicted upon us in the name of education," Mizuno said, her voice rising with passion. "The USA seeks to control not just our lands, but our minds and the minds of our children. They seek to create a world where only their version of intelligence is valued, where those who think differently are cast aside and discarded."

  She paused, her eyes scanning the crowd as she sought to drive home her point. "But we have shown them that we will not be controlled. We have shown them that the power of dumbness is a force to be reckoned with, that those who think differently can rise up and overthrow the shackles of intelligence that bind them."

  The crowd erupted in cheers, their voices raised in triumph as they agreed with her words. Mizuno waited for the cheers to die down before continuing.

  "Today, we begin a new chapter in our history," she said, her voice filled with determination. "A chapter where we reject the USA's child imprisonment system and forge our own path. A path where parents decide what their children learn, where knowledge is passed from one generation to the next through apprenticeship and the sharing of skills."

  I stepped forward, standing beside Mizuno as I addressed the crowd. "The time for change is now," I said, my voice ringing out clear and strong. "We will tear down the schools that have been used to oppress us and build something new in their place. Something that reflects our values and our beliefs."

  The people cheered, their eyes shining with hope and excitement as they envisioned a future free from the tyranny of the USA's education system.

  "From this day forward, no child in Pashtunistan will be forced to attend school against their will," I said, my voice filled with conviction. "Parents will have the freedom to choose how and what their children learn, and those who wish to pursue an apprenticeship or learn a trade will be supported in their endeavors. We will create a system that values all types of minds, whether dumb or smart, and that encourages individuality and personal growth."

  The crowd erupted in cheers, their voices rising in a chorus of approval as they agreed with my words. I could see the gratitude and relief in their eyes, the knowledge that they were finally free from the oppression that had plagued them for so long.

  As the cheers died down, an elderly man stepped forward, his voice trembling with emotion as he spoke. "Thank you," he said, his words simple but heartfelt. "You have freed us from the mind-numbing tyranny of the USA's education system. We owe you our deepest gratitude."

  A young woman followed, her eyes shining with determination as she addressed me. "I want to help," she said, her voice steady and sure. "I want to fight against the United Smart Asses and bring an end to their evil ways. Please, let me join your cause."

  One by one, people stepped forward, offering their services and pledging their allegiance to our fight against the USA and their child imprisonment system. The dumb and the smart alike thanked me for freeing them from the shackles of pseudo-education that had held them back for so long.

  As the last of the volunteers stepped forward, a bright light descended from the sky, blinding us with its intensity. The crowd gasped, shielding their eyes as they looked up to see the source of the light. Slowly, the light faded, revealing a figure standing before us, his form shimmering with an otherworldly glow.

  "Greetings, children of Pashtunistan," the figure said, his voice like thunder, resonating through the very air itself. "I am Stupimetheus, and I have come to congratulate you on your victory against the puppet government and their USA masters."

  The crowd murmured, their eyes wide with awe and wonder as they beheld the divine being before them.

  "Your fight has been long and arduous," Stupimetheus said, his voice filled with pride. "But today, you have shown the world that the power of dumbness is a force to be reckoned with. Today, you have taken the first step towards freeing yourselves from the oppressive grip of pseudo-education."

  He paused, his eyes scanning the crowd as he spoke. "The time has come to take the fight to the heart of the beast," he said, his voice rising with determination. "We must march on the United Smart Asses and bring an end to their evil education system once and for all. We must free the dumb throughout the realm from their long oppression in so-called schoolhouses."

  The crowd cheered, their voices rising in a chorus of agreement as they pledged themselves to the cause. I looked out at the sea of determined faces, knowing that we were on the cusp of something great, something that would change the course of history forever.

  "Together, we will fight," Stupimetheus said, his voice like a battle cry, echoing through the air and stirring the very souls of those who heard it. "Together, we will free the dumb and bring an end to the tyranny of child imprisonment. For the power of dumbness shall prevail!"

  With that, he raised his hands, and a wave of energy washed over us, filling us with strength and determination as we prepared to face the challenges that lay ahead. The time for action was upon us, and we would not rest until the evils of the USA's education system were laid to waste and the dumb were finally free.
