War is so dumb. The poorest people suffer the most from politicians and oligarchs who refuse to check their ego.

Amen. I've been studiously recycling my cans and plastic to do my bit for the planet and these dickheads are levelling whole cities with missiles. Absolute twats.

The revolution dies with the human spirit.

Don't give your power away.

One person weak, many human strong.

Fun fact. Only 5% of plastic is recyclable despite what it may say on the container. Oil companies started the recycling thing to convince people plastic wasn’t that bad.
