The Gadfly Movement

The Gadfly Movement was a philosophical and social initiative inspired by the allegorical figure of the gadfly—someone who provokes and challenges authorities or societal norms to promote change. Originating in the early 20th century, it emphasized critical thinking, activism, and questioning of established power structures. The movement aimed to spark awareness and moral responsibility, encouraging individuals to challenge injustices and advocate for social progress. It often targeted political and cultural complacency, urging people to remain vigilant, thoughtful, and engaged in shaping a just society.
