Starlight Glimmer believes in an America where people don't flaunt their special talents because they have no special talents to flaunt.
Free yourself from your cutie mark by voting for Starlight Glimmer in 2016! As the equalist candidate, Starlight Glimmer invites all of America to experience true friendship for the very first time. The only way to be happy is if we're all equal!
The cutie un-marking is a beautiful ceremony. Starlight uses the staff of sameness to magically take them away and replace them with these.
A president for the 21st century, Starlight recognizes that difference is frustration, and you can do your best by never doing your best!
To ensure happiness, Starlight advocates mandatory re-education and equalization for those who need more time to consider her philosophy.
Here are a few of many ideas on which Starlight Glimmer's platform is built.
Discovering your purpose in life is hard. In Starlight's America, everyone knows their destiny is just to emulate.
When you win, someone else loses. This is unfair to them, and winning only builds the worst ego and conceit.
Accept your limitations, and happiness will follow.
"It's alright, I know I'm not a very good baker. At least I'm not any better than anypony else in the village."
"They wouldn't stop talking about how different they are, and that somehow makes their friendship stronger. But I didn't listen! I knew what they were up to, and I didn't listen!"
"Why I don't think we've ever had trouble in our little village."
You can't have a nightmare, if you never dream.
In case your humour setting is low, this is a parody. The Season 5 premier of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic is an episode about the dangers of collectivism (communism and its variants) as well as a criticism of the need to fit in. It's worth watching, and explains the topic far better than boring books like 1984. It actually draws heavy influences from real world events, the novel 1984, the short story Harrison Bergeron, and recent political trends towards equality at the expense of individuality.
