Subversive Arts: A statement from the Bloody Noes
Primary tabs

Every human contains this possibility, that is the faith, and whether it has been exhaustively proven or not, well, the experiment waged is worth it every time. The idea is that every human needs to be rescued from a particular destructive mania that is thoroughly dictated in every aspect of Social Structure, but that no man can be fully rescued by the adoption of another man's slogans.
