After Ruskin

,,

We are not citizens.

We are subjects to experiment upon.

..

And this is not science.

It’s politics.

..

It gives poison in the mask of government.

No justice let alone mercy

..

as if existence is the most people deserve.

Imperious and impetuous decisions wrapped in lies.

..

They do not need or solicit our respect

who keep themselves in power by birth or bribes.
