What crime did I commit in a past life to end up like this? To feel anything, numb sacks of meat must go online to cultivate their sadism.

Luxury Terrorism
By indi.ca
I call America a luxury terrorism force because that’s what they are. The last time the USA was able to conscript a citizen army was over 50 years ago (Vietnam). The last time they were able to field a debt slave army was over 20 years ago (Iraq). Their last times are upon them,… Continue reading
