"Respect existence or expect resistance" means that if you do not acknowledge and respect the rights and existence of others, you should be prepared for them to resist and push back against your actions. This slogan implies that a lack of respect and fairness will lead to opposition and revolt, while respecting others is a path to a more peaceful interaction.
Acknowledge and validate:
"Respect existence" means treating people fairly, recognizing their worth, and allowing for their differences without penalty.
Consequences of disrespect:
"Expect resistance" serves as a warning that injustice and oppression will not be tolerated and will lead to pushback.
Social justice movement:
The phrase is often used in social justice movements to highlight the idea that people will fight for their rights when they are disregarded or threatened.
Empowerment and survival:
It can also be interpreted as a statement of resilience, indicating that those who are oppressed will fight for their survival and to defend their identity.
One of the major reasons seven million people took to the streets in October of 2025 is the lack of respect for human rights and dignity displayed by the present administration. From ICE abductions of migrants and citizens, to the rollback of women's rights, to assaults on LGBTQ rights and diversity initiatives, to eliminations of voting rights, Donald Trump and his cronies have proven they have no respect for any Americans they do not agree with, and will take any measures they can get away with to disenfranchise or even eliminate their voice. Only through continuing to hit the streets and voice our objection en masse can we ensure that there is no normalization of this lack of humanity and regard for human rights. It is only through resistance that we can ensure respect for existence in today's America.
