“TIME OUT

Every single time shit happens in history everyone
runs for cover to a church or an underground bunker
fearing death and retaliation slavery or retribution for
being alive or human because human beings keep fucking up our own atmosphere with hate never realizing that this pathetic behavior isn't human at all but primitive bullshit without real reason or soul never learning that greed and money is what every single time has brought us here to this very same place. A bunch of whiny, immature children screaming " Mine! Mine!" in a desperate need for a permanent time out in a prison cell who needs to learn that this shit isn't going to be accepted or tolerated anymore. Ever. The problem is is that you let them get away with it all and followed them blindly and stood by them, did nothing as they took all your rights and are now using your own money to amass more money, more weapons and more toys that they know will keep you from putting them where they belong in a prison cell or ja

NO KINGS by R.M. Engelhardt
“In my time on earth I've seen death, cruelty & greed among men.

Petty ideals, the belligerent & small. The false worshippers and the scum of the earth bottom feeders. Racists, thieves and even murder. But nothing upon this earth makes me realize that mankind is an evil thing more than the mindless killing and abuse of animals for it shows the base instinct of what a lesser creature, a lesser predator truly is. A creature that kills merely for self enjoyment rather than self preservation.”

NO KINGS by R.M. Engelhardt
“The hive mind is boring, small and thinks and works on the same wavelength as stupidity. It elects morons for presidents and still defends their mistakes and crimes out of childish fear and self interest and follows false religious beliefs that have been altered. So if you ever wonder why mankind hasn't progressed as far as you believed it once could have? Blame those who can't count to three correctly without thinking about if it's ok with their ilk to be able to do so. And whenever the hive mind's existence is threatened? They always resort to violence because that's the evidence of pure unadulterated stupidity. These are not independent thinkers. These are unconscious slaves of their own making and an unending threat to a better society and a far better world.”

The Words Must Be Your Own.”
