    I was following festivals 91-93 and sitting talking was always centered around society and how fascist and wrong it was and how it should be overthrown and how easy it would be to do that given their numbers. None however seem3d to have a replacement society / system that ran much different to capatitlsm. All this venom filled hatred toward the system and the drone bee hive existence, however they werent averse to going miles to collect benefit or when bit by one of the dogs.or beaten by filth or suxh like.they soon hottailed it down.to hospital...and wasnt averse to a good skip raid...yet society shouldnt exist 😂😂😂 i always found that.hippocritical.
