@LittleLeoCA @proj1907 @ccncto Yeah, mate. It's totally radicalised to suggest we fix the inequalities and discrimination inherent in our society. What happened to make you so fucked up, little leo? Why does the idea of treating people fairly offend and frighten you so much? https://t.co/gl31d1VKsQ
