We never slacked off and are more pissed off than ever. But where are the leaders to unite and organize powerful and focused efforts?

RIGHT EFFING NOW.

Hints at the post. Pete is one of them for sure!

I am readying a post on Gorilla warfare that we can wage. Gorilla on purpose cuz they throw shit. Tired of throwing daisies at morans.

FAFO flags, even as little cards you print up and leave in appropriate places --- and vanish

Go for it.
