As soon as you group men, they lose their personalities. A parliament of the wisest and strongest men in the nation is liable to behave like a set of schoolboys, tearing up their desks and throwing their inkpots at each other. The only possibility of co-operation lies in discipline and autocracy, which men have sometimes established in the name of equal rights.”

spilling blood across the ring
while the one who stands for peace

― Gorillaz, Gorillaz: Rise of the Ogre

Like thief in the night,
aliens invade human.
Chaos happens prior to the new order of coexistence.

― Justin Hopper, Weird Walk: Number One: Beltane 2019

“It is not that difficult to understand and differentiate between our said rights and our assumption that we solely own them. (...)

Your right of self-defense, for instance, firmly stops at your borders. Crossing that line becomes an offense.

Your right to freedom of expression loses its validity at the uttering of hate, discrimination, racism, or lies.

Your basic human rights cease to be an entitlement when you intentionally and forcefully deprive others of theirs.

Even your right to express anger ceases to exist when it turns to violence, whether verbal or physical. (...)

No one is entitled to that which they refuse to others.”
― Claudys Kantara, Rebel Thoughts of Wisdom: Inspiring Conscious Change for Personal & Collective Growth
