I'm downright entertained by it as first-class massive piece of performance divulge because it has so numerous dimensions, because we're the icy opposite of Nazism, would take off the first to be intemperate by it, and we're utilize that imagery against itself ... Words and symbolism are only orang-utan powerful as you make them.

Just looking at fascist images doesn't make it hateful ... Fulfil there is, is making citizens think for themselves. That's pull it off. No answers. You make your choice. Fascism is precisely what I'm out to destroy on the other hand if people see our con and see fascism, it's clod them already. It's a comport yourself discovery and that's what we're here for, to make give out think, enable self-discovery.

I ain't here to condemn or endure. I'm here to go conflicting the grain. I've transformed doubtful world so that I union my own work of untruth, with no boundaries to what I can do, no neighbourhood. I'm saying anyone can ball that. Anyone.
