END THE GREED WE ARE THE 99% MUST STOP YOUR FAULT PEOPLE NOT PROFITS IS ENOUGH The real damage is done by those millions who want to ‘survive’. The honest men who just want to be left in peace. Those who don’t want their little lives disturbed by anything bigger than themselves. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH Those with no sides and no causes. Those who won’t take measure of their own strength, for fear of antagonizing their own weakness. Those who don’t like to make waves - or enemies. Those for whom freedom, honor, truth, and principles are only literature. FAHRENHEIT 451 ANIMAL FARM BRAVE NEW WORLD A.H. 1984 - ORWELL THE GIVER THE HANDMAID’S TALE Those who live small, mate small… …die small. ZZZ It’s the reductionist approach to life.

SAFE?! From what? Life is always on the edge of death. Narrow streets lead to the same place as wide avenues… …and a little candle burns itself out just like a flaming torch does. WE ARE YOUR BAD CONSCIENCE WE WILL NOT BE SILENT AND FREEDO NO I CHOOSE MY OWN WAY TO BURN. - Sophie Scholl
